Özet:
When stakeholders in legal education discuss skills teaching and learning, do they share conceptual and linguistic common ground? Or do they simply assume that such common ground exists? This qualitative study explores those questions against the backdrop of a rapidly changing practice and licensing environment in Ontario. The goal of the study was to create a preliminary taxonomy that describes in the broadest possible terms what stakeholders in Ontario legal education collectively identify and refer to as legal skills. Using the method of computer-assisted qualitative content analysis, text data referring to skills was extracted from publicly available documents produced by three stakeholder groups: Ontario law firms and bar associations, collectively representing the Profession; the Law Society of Upper Canada and the Federation of Law Societies of Canada, representing the Regulator in Ontario; and Ontario law schools. Text excerpts were classified and assigned to thematic categories based on both inductive and deductive coding methods. This resulted in a taxonomy of over 100 individually identified skills referenced by the stakeholders. Whereas other studies have described skills in the narrow terms of what lawyers do in practice, in order to drive skills curriculum in law schools, the method used here collected data without prioritizing one voice over another. Thus, the resulting taxonomy, rather than defining skills in accordance with a single stakeholder's interests, instead expands the way in which legal educators might imagine and program skills teaching and learning. It provides common ground for discussion among legal educators about skills curriculum, and encourages stakeholders to work collaboratively to design curriculum that is responsive to our students' needs for innovative legal education, which will in turn prepare them to successfully navigate the demands of practice in a "new law" environment.
