Seeking resources on modern curricular realities
As detailed in posts linked below, I am very interested in the structure and evolution of the law school curriculum. Yesterday, my interest found expression at a faculty meeting where I suggested a "curriculum retreat" so our faculty could have a collective discussion about the successes and challenges of the past, present and expected future of OSU's standard curriculum.
Relatedly, given recent reforms at Harvard and Stanford and elsewhere, I am wondering if there already exists a useful summary/analysis of modern curricular realities at most law schools. I suspect the ABA and the AALS might have a summary/analysis of current curricular norms and trends, but I am not quite sure where to look for such materials. Also, I suspect that faculty members or administrators at schools considering reforms might have some internal summary/analysis. I would be grateful for anyone willing to share this kind of work.

We had a similar retreat last year which was very useful. It helps, of course, to go into it with open minds regarding change.
