UPPER-LEVEL LAW COURSES

Law school is a tremendously challenging endeavor.  Many law students struggle through course after course, without fully learning legal doctrine in a fluid and dynamic manner.  Gould's legal Education has spent years analyzing the traditional teaching modalities of the Casebook Method and the Socratic Method.  While each of the methods have benefits, many students do not excel when using only the Casebook Method and the Socratic Method.  Therefore, Gould's has developed the Gould Method of Legal Education, that focuses on taking novice law students, and developing such students into expert legal learners.  Gould's uses a variety of time-tested techniques to develop law students into expert learners, including:
