ABSTRACT
Intellectual disciplines normally change incrementally rather than dra matically, but there are grounds for believing that legal scholarship and education are entering a period in which an appreciable change of orien tation will occur. With such a change, the manner of conceptualizing and resolving issues will be substantially altered. Shifts in paradigms have taken place in the past in law 1 as well as in the sciences,2 and they can be expected to occur again. The prospect of such a change in law is suggested by the presence of a daylong workshop at the 1987 meeting of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) on five "emerging traditions in legal education and legal scholarship."
