講座內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介：
This lecture will provide an overview of the meanings, elements, and implications of the rule of law. I begin with a brief history, explaining the medieval origins of the notion that the sovereign must abide by the law. Then I describe two main streams of thought on the rule of law: substantive and formal. After indicating the strengths and weaknesses of the substantive version, I concentrate on the formal version, laying out its basic elements and requirements. I close with a few words about the limitations of the rule of law.

講座內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介：
In the past decade, the total number of applicants to law school in America has dropped by almost half: from 100,000 in 2004 to 54,000 in 2014. Owing to the collapse in applicants, many American law schools now face severe financial distress. Law schools are enrolling fewer students and are reducing tuition or offering higher discounts to attract students, which results in dramatically lower revenues. Some law schools likely will close. I explain why American law schools have found themselves in this position, and what legal education will look like going forward.
