Editor’s Corner

I am honored to have the opportunity to represent the Academy of Legal

Studies in Business (ALSB) as the editor in chief of the Journal of Legal

Studies Education (JLSE). Now in its twenty-seventh year, JLSE remains the

premier scholarly journal devoted to the publication of articles on the

subject of legal studies education in schools of management and business.

Well into my second year as editor in chief, I continue to be amazed by the

outstanding quality of the articles which are submitted to JLSE for possible

publication.

All articles in JLSE are blind reviewed by either the senior articles

editor or the articles editor, along with two other reviewers who are mem-

bers of the ALSB. Serving as senior articles editor is Tonia Murphy of the

University of Notre Dame. Following this academic year, Tonia will take on

the position of editor in chief. Rob Landry of Jacksonville State University

is serving as articles editor and after this year will become the senior articles

editor. Both Tonia and Rob have worked tirelessly for JLSE, not only in the

capacity of reviewers but also by providing authors with numerous ideas of

ways to improve the final version of submitted manuscripts. To them I owe

a very special expression of thanks. I also wish to thank the many staff

editors and reviewers who have thoughtfully reviewed each of the manu-

scripts submitted. Their service to JLSE and to the ALSB is exemplary and

truly appreciated.

In this issue of JLSE are six outstanding articles on a variety of topics

of interest to Legal Studies educators. In the first article Debra Burke,

Ronald Johnson, and Deborah Kemp discuss how legal studies professors

are in a unique position to prepare students for the constantly changing

business world of the twenty-first century. In so doing the authors discuss

the Boyer model of scholarship, and comment upon the scholarship of

teaching and learning. Next is an article by Jennifer Mitchell and Eric

Yordyin whic hthe authors suggest a comprehensive and practical method

(the COVER model) for ethical decision making. To learn what the

COVER acronym stands for, you will have to read the article! Ramona

Paetzold has written an article in which she suggests that the

discourse of employment discrimination law should include the theoreti-

cal perspective of disabilities studies. Among other things, she takes the

position that disability studies can provide a unifying framework for
