Abstract

The importance of reflection in the self-regulated learning cycle is clear. Yet, it is not common practice to require our students to engage in self-reflection as a discipline in law school. The need for self-reflection is important not only to law school success, but also to success in practice. Law students need to learn how to reflect to become more effective practitioners, and law school should provide and require students the opportunity to obtain the skills to reflect on their skills and practice.

Keywords: pedagogy, reflection, self-regulated learning, law school, reflect, teaching, practice
