Legal Commentary

For my sign-off post to finish a month of sporadic guest-blogging, I thought I might return to a topic that I covered in a prior guest stint in this post, titled "What course is most "under-taught" in law school?".  That post generated lots of interesting suggestions, including:

• Sentencing Law (my suggestion)
• Disability Law
• Information Privacy Law
• Enforcement proceedings
• Remedies
• Insurance Law
• Conflicts / Choice of Law
• Limited Liability Companies
• White-Collar Crime
• Legal History
• and all sort of transactional law

I seriously doubt that, three years later, many (or any) of these course are more taught now than they were three years ago when I asked this question initially.  That said, there has been lots of talk in recent years about law school teaching reform (as highlighted at Law School Innovation and elsewhere), but most of this talk has been about teaching methods rather than teaching substance.

Whether you like or dislike recent trends in law school teaching, I would love to hear another round or reactions to the question I put out way-back-when: What legal topic do you think should develop into an upper-level elective offered at most or all law schools in the coming years?
