Teaching Leadership Using the Case Study Method. 
Date: Tuesday, September 26, 2023 at 12:00 pm EST

Lee Fisher, Dean Cleveland State University, Doris DelTosto Brogan, Professor and Harold Reuschlein Chair, Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law, and Mr. P. Kelly Tompkins, Leader-in-Residence, Cleveland State University College of Law discussed teaching leadership to law students using the case study method. The case study method is used often in business schools, but rarely in law schools. The case study approach grew out of the Langdellian case method, but instead of using established case law, case studies use real-life or hypothetical situations from the legal, business, political and government worlds to illustrate and then analyze leadership principles.
