      abstract = {Written by an award-winning professor with over 25 years  of experience, this book explains comprehensively the  different facets of law teaching from the law teachers  perspective. It uniquely covers numerous topics which have  been ignored by the legal education literature so far, but  which are of immense importance for the success of law  students, law schools andlast but not leastthe day-to-day  work of law teachers themselves. These topics include the  goals of law teaching, the factors that lead to successful  law teaching, special characteristics of good law teachers,  different ways of preparing for in-class success,  face-to-face versus online teaching, the in-class teaching  experience, assessments, teaching evaluations, the design  of new courses and programmes, the teacherstudent and the  teacherteacher relationship, the importance of teaching  administration as well as the future of law teaching in the  digital age. The author approaches various themes from the  viewpoint of his own experience. He tells his very personal  stories of classroom success and failure, of enthusiasm,  fun and disappointments when dealing with law students, of  accomplishments and frustrations when considering learning  outcomes and of surprises when dealing with red tape. He  thus allows the readership to grasp different aspects of  law teaching in a very hands-own way and facilitates the  understanding of the underlying often rather complex  human-to-human relationships. This book should be in the  bookshelf of any law teacher. As it covers a wide spectrum  of so far unexplored legal education issues, it is also an  invaluable source at the start of a law teaching career,  but also for established law teachers who wish to reflect  on their own teaching approaches. A rich body of  cross-references to the existing literature makes the book  a powerful tool for research on any aspect of legal  education. Last but not least, the authors ironic sense of  himself and of the law teacher profession makes the book a  very entertaining read for anybody who always wanted to  know what law teaching really is (and is not) about.},
