Joel Newman, Wake Forest University Law School The Use of Videotaped Skits to Present Legal Ethics and Practice Issues in the Introductory Tax Course I have produced three videotaped skits, each of which is about ten minutes long. In all three skits, I play the part of the tax lawyer. In two of them, an actor plays the client. In the third skit, one of my faculty colleagues plays the client. This third skit is especially popular with the students, as they enjoy seeing my colleague looking like a total sleazeball. My proposed presentation would be simply to show one or two of these tapes, with a description by me of what I hope to accomplish with them, and how I went about producing them. I am not well versed in formal learning theory. However, these tapes are an application of my informal intuition that variety of classroom presentation is good. In addition, each of the tapes is, to one degree or another, funny.
