Legal Methods Professor <a href="/Academics/Faculty/ProfilesDe/SbargeJeanK.aspx">Jean K. Sbarge</a> presented “Taking
 the Lede from Journalism:  Two Exercises to Hook Students’ Interest and
 Introduce Concepts” at the Tenth Annual Rocky Mountain Legal Writing 
Conference in March at the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College
 of Law.  Professor Sbarge discussed and demonstrated exercises designed
 to grab students’ attention while providing hands-on experiential 
learning to help students understand concepts.  One exercise brings to 
life the real Pringles versus potato chip case to introduce legal 
reasoning and rule application, and the other exercise uses an Edward 
Hopper painting, Diane Arbus photograph and news photograph to introduce
 and teach the concept of counterargument.  More than 100 legal writing 
professors from across the country attended the conference.
