Get rid of 100% final exams in Canadian Law Schools

I recently came across a cool tweet on Twitter:

 Mar 23
Question. Why does our profession not critically question law school pedagogy more? Law school is, for the most part, taught as if every law student is destined to become a constitutional academic or appellate litigator. (1)


Replying to 
Shakir - you should look at what we’re doing at . We don’t have 100% exams any more. We use formative assessment in our classes. We have group work. We teach business skills and project management and leadership for lawyers. Have a look at the Calgary Curriculum.

This got me excited. How many of us have thought this same question, many times perhaps?  100% exams are stupid.  They are not a reflection of real life lawyering.  We collaborate.  We take time to think.  We write, we revise, we write, we revise.  We practice our oral submissions. We research, we write, then we speak.  We speak to clients.  We speak to opposing counsel.  We do more research.  We do more writing, we collaborate some more.  I love that @UCalgaryLaw is taking this approach.  I will be having a closer look at their curriculum.  I am curious to see if any other Canadian law schools are taking this approach.  Let me know if you come across any.  

I also appreciate @LawDeanHolloway's comments about teaching business skills, project management and leadership skills for lawyers.  This is essential!  Great work, in my opinion, @LawDeanHolloway and @UCalgaryLaw.

Let me know your comments on this as well.  I'm sure we are all curious if we might be seeing the end of 100% final exams in law school.
