WELCOME On behalf of our General Secretary/Treasurer, Dean Barbara Holden Smith and all the members of the International Association of Law Schools‟ Board of Governors, we want to welcome each and every one of you to our 2017 Annual Meeting. This is our third biennial meeting where law school leaders from around the world gather together to discuss and formulate new strategies to improve legal education globally. We warmly welcome all the familiar faces from these many years – welcome and thank you for your continued engagement in advancing the cause of legal education globally. For those who are new, a special warm welcome from our community. Please meet your colleagues from around the world. We look forward to working with you in this challenging and engaging effort. The IALS is a volunteer service association of more than 175 law schools and departments from over 55 countries representing more than 7,500 law faculty members. One of our primary missions is the improvement of law schools and conditions of legal education throughout the world by learning from each other. The Annual Meeting is a special occasion when all of our community has the opportunity to get together to meet, engage and discuss. This meeting continues our exploration of the essential elements of a legal education. Our theme this year focuses on building the framework for developing standards and evaluations of them from a law school leader‟s perspective. We are beginning the process of developing a consensus as to what and how we teach, how that should be evaluated for doctrinal areas of law, and how we can involve other stake holders, especially the judiciary, in improving legal education for the 21stCentury. A heartfelt thank you to Symbiosis Law School, Pune for so graciously hosting our 10th Annual Meeting. Special thanks to Chancellor Dr. S.B. Mujumdar, Pro Chancellor Dr. Vidya Yeravdekar, Vice-Chancellor Dr. Rajani Gupte of the Symbiosis International University, and Dean Dr. Shashikala Gurpur, her wonderful faculty, staff and students for all the fine arrangements they have made to make our participation in the meeting so memorable. Their thoughtfulness and professionalism proudly demonstrate effectiveness of the legal education at Symbiosis Law School, Pune. We hope you will take the opportunity in the next few days to renew old friendships, but also to make new friends. It is the commitment of our Association to foster the interaction amongst the world‟s legal education leaders, and by learning from each other to guide the future of legal education globally.

SMALL GROUP BREAKOUTS QUESTIONS

Logic Model

A logic model (also known as a logical framework, theory of change, or program matrix) is a tool used by funders, managers, and evaluators of programs to evaluate the effectiveness of a program. They can also be used during planning and implementation. Logic models are usually a graphical depiction of the logical relationships between the resources, activities, outputs and outcomes of a program. While there are many ways in which logic models can be presented, the underlying purpose of constructing a logic model is to assess the "if-then" (causal) relationships between the elements of the program.

INPUTS ACTIVITIES OUTPUTS OUTCOMES IMPACTS

Resources – What resources are needed to operate your program? What are the potential barriers? (e.g. # of faculty, admin support, etc.)

Action – what processes, events, actions are needed to accomplish your planned program? (e.g. workshops, more classroom hours, money, etc.)

What is the deliverable (end product) for the planned program? How do you measure it? (e.g. satisfaction ratings, scores on tests, etc.)

Short and Long Term – If the planned activities are accomplished, what is the end objective of the program? (e.g. better class control and participation, positive changes in Knowledge, Skills and Values in the student, changes in behavior in faculty, etc.)

What are the wider consequences of the program if the outcomes are met? (e.g. changes in organizations, systems, communities, etc.)

Your Planned Work Your Intended Results

(Information comes from the Kellogg Foundation)

What is a Networked Improvement Community (NIC)? Networked improvement communities (NICs) are scientific learning communities distinguished by four essential characteristics, (1) focused on a well specified aim, (2) guided by a deep understanding of the problem, the system that produces it, and a theory of improvement relevant to it, (3) disciplined by the rigor of improvement science, (4) coordinated to accelerate the development, testing, and refinement of interventions and their effective integration into practice across varied educational contexts. The first important step in formulating a strategy is to determine its goal or objective. Once that is determined, then we need to develop the relevant measurement proxies which will indicate to us how effective the strategy is in attaining that goal. These are the Key Performance Indicators or KPIs. For businesses certainly an essential KPI is profit. Educational and non-profit organizations are not held to a monetary standard. Therefore, we need to decide for ourselves our goals and the proxies (KPIs) in measuring and fine tuning our activities towards attaining those goals.

16

Definition of Key Performance Indicators:

A performance indicator or key performance indicator (KPI) is a type of performance measurement. KPIs evaluate the success of an organization or of a particular activity (such as projects, programs, products and other initiatives) in which it engages. Often success is simply the repeated, periodic achievement of some levels of operational goal (e.g. zero defects, 10/10 customer satisfaction, etc.), and sometimes success is defined in terms of making progress toward strategic goals. The development of these strategies and how to measure progress for iterative improvement through the sharing of experiences is an essential component of the Evaluation, Assessment and Certification Program. Let me be very clear about the program. The purpose of the EAC Program is not to impose another set of regulatory rules upon the legal education community. We have too many already. Rather, it is the response of the global legal education community to determine for itself what really matters to us professionally in our obligation to teach the next generation the concepts and values embodied in the rule of law. Our work is to help formulate and articulate our views as law teachers as to our responsibilities, and to improve what we do from our own perspective.

SMALL GROUP BREAKOUTS QUESTIONS The Role of Chair and Moderator Role of the chair is to moderate the conversation using the logic model as a template to organize and drive the discussion. The role of the rapporteur is to take summary notes of the discussion and to finalize a version of the logic map after each small group session. As each session builds on the other, the participants are encouraged to keep interrogating and fine tuning their prior conclusions as the discussion deepens towards a realistic map for improvement.

Small Group Breakout on #1 Plenary Session Innovative Pedagogy in Doctrinal Fields

Questions:

1. Building on the plenary presentations – share 2-3 teaching strategies in your doctrinal area which you have or thought of employing.

2. Using the logic model, discuss the outcomes and impacts you wish your field should attain, and how to achieve them.

Small Group Breakout on #2 Plenary Session Doctrinal Study Groups: Towards a Harmonized Subject Matter Curriculum Which Respects

the Diversity of Approaches

Question:

1. Viewing Curriculum from a broader perspective – how do we take into account resource,

cultural and other differences in deploying strategies by schools with differing resources, culture and expectations for a legal education?

2. How do we assess curriculum in the context of such differences? 3. Establish Key Performance Indicators while taking into consideration the context of the

institution. Small Group Breakout on #3 Plenary Session Implementing Change – IALS as a Networked Improvement Community Question:

1. What are the opportunities and challenges of working together? 2. What are the strategies to incent scholarship in learning theory as applied to legal education? 3. Using the logic map, can we set goals and priorities for working together as an NIC in your

doctrinal area by mapping to attain stated outcomes while learning and recalibrating when doing?

SINGAPORE DECLARATION Global Standards and Outcomes of a Legal Education

The following principles outline global standards and outcomes of a legal education. These principles establish a baseline and a common language for future efforts to improve legal education.

Global Standards for a Legal Education 1. Regulation Regulation of legal education and internal law school governance should be:

i. Formulated with law faculty input and be subject to domestic, and where appropriate, international peer review;

ii. Objective; iii. Transparent; iv. Verifiable; v. Consistently applied; vi. Informed by evolving domestic and international norms; and vii. Jurisdictionally specific.

2. Students A. Selection of Students

It is recognized that admission standards should be based on established local criteria taking into consideration the jurisdiction‟s public policy as to admission criteria of students into higher education. Student selection should be:

i. Objective; ii. Transparent; iii. Verifiable; iv. Consistently applied; and v. Informed by evolving domestic and international norms.

B. Evaluation of Students

Student evaluations should be incorporated in a comprehensive legal educational program to enable law graduates to attain the outcomes specified in the Statement of Principles: Outcomes for a Legal Education. They should be:

i. Objective; ii. Transparent; iii. Verifiable; iv. Consistently applied, v. Informed by evolving domestic and international norms.

It is recognized that there are a variety of forms of student evaluation which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, as well as from institution to institution. It is recognized that there is a growing emphasis on formative rather than purely summative evaluations of student performance.

3. Faculty It is recognized that local standards, needs and resources guide the recruitment, evaluation, advancement and retention of law faculty. Local standards should be:

i. Objective; ii. Transparent; iii. Verifiable; iv. Consistently applied; v. Informed by evolving domestic and international norms.

22

4. Curriculum It is recognized that there are many methodologies in teaching law. All such methods should inform the faculty as to how best to educate their students in the context of local needs and resources. Local standards should be:

i. In conformity with established local criteria and policies; ii. Comprehensive and flexible; iii. Tied to the Principles of a Global Standard for Outcomes of a Legal Education; iv. Informed by evolving domestic and international norms; and v. Subject to periodic domestic, and where appropriate, international peer review

5. Infrastructure – Physical, Technological and Administrative It is recognized that the physical, technological, as well as access to legal resources and the administrative infrastructure of an educational institution are fundamental in achieving the Outcomes of a Legal Education. It is also recognized that educational institutions must work within the context of the resources available within their jurisdiction. Infrastructure should be:

i. Sufficient and adequate to enable the institution to achieve the Outcomes of a Legal Education;

ii. Informed by evolving domestic and international norms; and iii. Subject to periodic domestic, and, where appropriate, international peer review.

Outcomes of a Legal Education

A. Knowledge A law graduate should know and understand:

i. The core areas of substantive and procedural law; ii. How laws are created, implemented and changed; and iii. The contextual underpinnings of the operation of law (both domestically and globally).

B. Skills A law graduate should be proficient in:

i. General academic skills, including critical analysis and reasoning; ii. Researching, reading and analysing legal materials; iii. Problem solving, planning and strategizing how to comply with legal requirements; and iv. Constructing a legal position and effectively communicating (orally and in writing) within a

legal context.

C. Values A law graduate should know and understand the need to act in accordance with:

i. The professional ethics of the jurisdiction; and ii. The fundamental principles of justice and the rule of law.

23

MADRID PROTOCOL Principles of Evaluation of Legal Education

Recognizing that there is a diversity of approaches, higher legal education evaluation must:

1. Respect the competence of the legal academy to set, maintain and improve legal education

standards;

2. Promote each institution's distinctive mission while taking into account its context; and

3. Acknowledge the views of relevant internal and external stakeholders.

Therefore, standards of any evaluative process must be:

1. Formulated with law faculty input and be subject to domestic, and, where appropriate,

international peer review;

2. Jurisdictionally and institutionally specific;

3. Informed by evolving domestic and international evaluative practices;

4. Objective;

5. Transparent;

6. Verifiable; and

7. Consistently applied.

24

JUDICIAL STANDARDS OF A LEGAL EDUCATION

Draft of October 28

th, 2017

Mindful that:

1. The law is the fundamental organizing principle of a civil society;

2. Only through the rule of law and its predictable and transparent application can a civil society

be sustained and thrive;

3. Judges must model the moral and ethical standards that are the essential underpinnings of

the rule of law.

4. Without a strong commitment to educate citizens as well as practitioners in the law, a civil

society cannot flourish;

5. A sound comprehension of the judicial system and its policies and procedures is an essential

component of understanding the legal system;

6. Legal education is necessary not only for those whose career aspirations are to be in the

legal field, but also for those who will enter a variety of other careers not necessarily involved

in the practice of law;

7. The legal education program of schools is regulated by internal as well as external private

and governmental bodies;

8. Jurisdictions vary as to:

a. the entry requirements for tertiary law studies in educational institutions,

b. expected outcomes for tertiary and post-graduate legal education;

c. the regulatory oversight and responsibility over legal education, and

d. the qualifications and educational requirements for admission to practice;

9. The degree of faculty autonomy with respect to the materials they assign, including the

curriculum, itself as well as class instruction differs from school to school.

The Judicial Council of the International Association of Law Schools recommends to tertiary

educational institutions that they subscribe to the following basic principles in teaching law and the

foundation of an effective, ethical, and responsible judicial system.

1) Legal education should provide a law student with the understanding that

a. Decisions made in accordance with the law should embody the values of:

i. Consistency with established law and objective legal principles;

ii. Due Process in transparent procedures as to the administration of law;

iii. Rational determinations supported by the weight of acceptable evidence;

iv. Equality for all before the law; and

v. Proportionality as to the result.

b. The law should guide the lawful use of power (private and public).

c. The law should uphold and promote human dignity.

d. The law and legal processes should be fair and transparent.

e. The law and its application should promote stability and predictability in

relationships between individuals (including legal entities) as well as between

individuals (including legal entities) and the state.

f. The law should provide reasonable access for all to the judicial system.

2) Legal education should teach, model and shape a student‟s sense of the moral and ethical

responsibilities of someone trained in the law

3) Legal education at all levels should provide students with sufficient learning opportunities

to develop the following essential skills:

a. Analytical reasoning specifically as it relates to legal matters

25

b. Knowledge and application of doctrinal law.

c. Written and oral skills of effective rhetorical argumentation within the context of the

law.

d. Knowledge, sensitivity and application of moral and ethical values inherent in the

rule of law.

4) When the initial law degree is an undergraduate degree, a legal education should:

a. Provide a broad education in other subject matters so that a law student gains a

fuller understanding of the context in which law is formed and utilized in modern

society.

b. Avoid particularly an overemphasis on memorizing doctrinal law and the

intricacies of law practice.

c. Where entry to the legal profession requires more than an undergraduate degree,

provide basically the same curriculum for all undergraduate law students with an

emphasis on a broad education, leaving the professional training to the later

prerequisite training.

d. Where the undergraduate degree is sufficient for entry to the legal profession,

provide specialized professional training in the 3rd

and 4th years of tertiary

education for students who wish to engage in the legal system as lawyers, judges

or prosecutors.

5) Tertiary educational institutions which have a degree program for the study in law should:

a. Conform to the requirements of local regulatory authorities, and

b. Conform to the standards and outcomes provided in the IALS Singapore

Declaration of Standards and Outcomes of a Legal Education.

6) Legal Education evaluative processes should conform with the standards established in

the IALS Madrid Protocol on the Principles of Evaluation of a Legal Education.

7) Legal educators should encourage the interaction between judiciary and the legal

academy so each can learn from each other.

8) Legal educators should engage in community outreach to elementary and secondary

schools to foster a belief and commitment to the rule of law.

EVALUATION, ASSESSMENT AND CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

The IALS Board of Governors is launching an international certification program for law schools and law programs. This is in response to requests over these many years from the deans of our members, and in recognition of the absence of any comparable program based on global, as opposed to local, governmental or regional standards. The program is based on the Global Standards and Outcomes of a Legal Education, adopted in the IALS Singapore Declaration of 2013 (attached). The evaluation will be conducted pursuant to the guidelines of Madrid Protocol of 2015, and be informed by the Judicial Standards, adopted in 2017. The purpose of the EAC Program is not to impose another set of regulatory rules upon the legal education community. We have too many already. Rather, it is the response of the global legal education community to determine for itself what really matters to us professionally with respect to our obligation to teach the next generation the concepts and values embodied in the rule of law. Our work is to help formulate and articulate our views as law teachers as to our responsibilities, and to improve what we do from our own perspective by learning from each other. The program is totally voluntary and open to any IALS member school that would like to participate. Its purposes are three fold: (1) to evaluate a school‟s program of legal education, focusing on the current curriculum, including pedagogies used and its administration, against agreed-upon global standards, to learn from innovations and best practices employed by the member school, and to offer advice on possible improvements; (2) to give the schools information to help them better explain their programs and possible changes to their universities and regulators as viewed against those global standards; and (3) upon achieving certification, to have the added prestige affiliated with gaining that recognition from a global learned society of law schools. Participating in the program will require a school to fill out a Self-Assessment Report, the template for which is attached. The IALS Evaluation, Assessment, and Certification Committee (EACC or Committee) will review that report to ensure it is complete and that the school is ready for a site visit. Then, IALS will conduct a site visit, selecting four or so expert faculty from different regions of the world who, after reviewing the written Self-Assessment Report, will visit the school for several days to ask questions, meet with key leaders, visit classes, faculty, and students, and, in general, make certain they have a clear picture of the current program‟s operation. That team will then write a report with recommendations to be submitted both to the school for its consideration and to the EACC for its determination as to whether the school is ready for provisional certification or should continue to work on some issues before that step. Certification, when awarded, will be for a term of years. In all cases, the Report of the team and the action of the Committee will be kept totally confidential by IALS and all site team members, leaving it to the school‟s discretion when or whether to publicly release the report or information regarding its certification. The site team will be composed of volunteers who will not be paid for their time or expertise. At least during the early years, participating schools will be asked only to comfortably house, feed and provide in country support for the team. IALS will cover the transportation costs for the team members, and no fees will be charged by IALS for conducting the certification process. Because this is a new program, and it is most important that it succeed in offering a high-quality opportunity for our member schools, several steps need to be taken before it is formally launched. Thus, we intend to proceed in the following way. In 2017, we are announcing the program, including information on its scope and the details of how it will operate. A preliminary final draft of a template for a Self-Assessment Report is being introduced at the 2017 Global Deans meeting. (See attached). In 2018 – 2019 the Committee will be responsible to develop a set of criteria based upon our foundational principles (Singapore Declaration, Madrid Protocol, and Judicial Standards). The criteria will be developed from the opinions, concerns, suggestions, and decisions of the Association‟s

27

membership. As with our foundational principles, the criteria will be consensually arrived at through our meetings, forums and workshops. We are committed in ensuring that all viewpoints and perspectives are represented, and that the EAC process is sensitive to the multiple contexts of our members. In 2019, we will invite suggestions of faculty members who might be willing and able to serve as team members. A workshop will then be held to train those volunteers and to ensure a uniform understanding of what is entailed and how best to evaluate the material submitted, conduct a site visit, and write a report. Evaluators will be appointed. A pilot project will launch with four schools being assessed, one from each region of the world. Interest in participating in this pilot project will be solicited by IALS in 2018. The Certification Program will formally launch in 2020.

SELF-ASSESSMENT REPORT

A Self-Assessment Report is essentially a narrative that is intended to present a brief snapshot of the

school, its self-identified goals, its challenges, and any means of reaching its goals or addressing

weaknesses that the school has identified. That information is the starting point for an outside review

of the law school program and its assessment under the Global Standards and Outcomes of a Legal

Education, found in the IALS Singapore Declaration, which is attached. The report and the external

review focus on a school‟s first degree in law, whether that is an LLB or a JD and they do not include

any graduate programs, such as those leading to a Masters, PhD or JSD.

This Self-Assessment Report is based on the IALS Singapore Declaration, which sets out FIVE

dimensions upon which standards may be evaluated – (1) Regulation; (2) Students; (3) Faculty; (4)

Curriculum; (5) Infrastructure – and THREE outcomes of a legal education – (A) Knowledge; (B)

Skills; (C) Values. In completing this Self-Assessment Report, one should refer to the desired

standards and outcomes as articulated in the IALS Singapore Declaration.

The first section of this Report asks for background information so that the external reviewers can

understand the context in which the law school operates. That context will aid the reviewers in making

assessments and recommendations that reflect the actual challenges and opportunities of individual

schools. The second section focuses on the curriculum, pedagogy, and administration of the

educational program as the means of meeting global standards and outcomes.
