‘Professor Krieger challenges us to re-examine long held assumptions about professional education. He achieves the rare feat of serious consideration of educational theory while providing a practical guide to curriculum design and teaching that enables students to be motivated and creative whilst truly integrating doctrinal knowledge and skills and developing their frameworks for strategic reasoning in practice.’ – Jonny Hall, Northumbria University, UK
‘Stefan Krieger is a leading light in legal education when it comes to the nature of facts and lawyering. This book expertly, comprehensively, and creatively melds cognition science with multiple models of fact collection, analysis, and communication. Pay particular attention to the storyboarding chapters—they are unique and wonderful.’ – Ruth Anne Robbins, Rutgers Law School, US
