The Paper Chase

My personal reaction to this film left me feeling both intimidated and anxious. The insight on what law school will be like is no easy reality to face. The films main message clearly establishes that law school involves an immense amount of studying, a finite social life, and lastly a stressful lifestyle. The film portrays this message by revealing the true difficulties and challenges that come about in law school through the perspective of the main character, James Hart, who is a student attending Harvard Law School. The message is conveyed effectively because the troubles that Hart encounters while trying to balance his studying and social life exposes how challenging attending law school actually is. I personally agree with the message that the film provides because I believe it is very important to shine a light on how effortful attending law school is. This film confesses that law school can cause one to lose sight of valuable aspects in life such as relationships, friendships and sanity in some cases. This film uses the Socratic Method which is a form of inquiry and discussion between individuals, based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to illuminate ideas. The Socratic Method was illustrated in this film by Kingsfield, the professor of Hart’s contract law course. Kingsfield believes that the Socratic Method helps one to analyze the facts, trains the mind and keeps the class constantly thinking. This pedagogical tool for learning the…

Even the birds seemed to have come together outside my bedroom window to offer me a melody. How divine! As my fiancé and our girls lay sound asleep, I began to prepare our breakfast. The menu was bacon, eggs, pancakes, and fresh squeeze orange juice for the girls. As the bacon sizzled in the pan, the aroma of black coffee…

Our film was an adaption of I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. We had three parts in the film, the introduction to the world, Neville meeting Ruth, Neville and Ruth having dinner. My main contribution was through the editing and I also directed the chase sequence. We chose I Am Legend because it was fresh in our minds and we’d seen three adaptions of the book already. We decided that Neville and Ruth’s relationship would be the easiest to portray on screen since we only needed two actors. The…

“It’s a device. A tool. Groups of first-year students that get together a couple times a week. Review the class work, the casebooks. They make outlines and then share them. It helps at exam time. You interested?” (Paul & Thompson & Bridges, 1973, scene 2). On the surface study groups may seem to be an effective strategy for enhancing learning, but they can actually lead students to encounter more problems than solutions in the long run. These problems can vary from fairly small to very serious,…
