The Institute for Law Teaching and Learning recently selected an article from the forthcoming volume of the Chapman Law Review as its May 2015 Article of the Month. The article, “Teaching the Digital Caveman: Rethinking the Use of Classroom Technology in Law School” by James Levy, an associate professor of law at the Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad Law Center and the founder of the Legal Skills Prof Blog, will be published in the fall 2015 volume of the Chapman Law Review. In the article, Professor Levy puts the present debate over the learning styles of “digital natives” — students who have grown up using computers — into historical context, revealing that new technologies have always led to a “moral panic” that they are changing the way students think and learn.

“We are happy to be recognized once again for the Chapman Law Review’s exemplary efforts to solicit and publish relevant and substantive articles from some of the country’s leading legal and educational minds,” said Chapman Law Review Faculty Advisor Professor Lawrence Rosenthal.

This is not the first time that a Chapman Law Review article has been selected for this prestigious honor. Chapman Law Review articles were selected by the Institute for Law Teaching and Learning in 2013 and 2014, and Associate Dean Donald Kochan’s Southwestern University Law Review article, entitled “‘Learning’ Research and Legal Education: A Brief Overview and Selected Bibliographical Survey,” was selected in 2011.
