Role-Playing for Learning: Enhancing Skills in Doctrinal Courses

This book addresses the need that educators have to make theoretical concepts tangible. Teachers across various subjects and educational settings grapple with the challenge of communicating abstract ideas to diverse audiences while aiming to ignite curiosity and sustain engagement. The authors offer their insight into the method of role-playing in various law courses in a highly diverse class. The book contains thirteen simulations with teaching notes, along with the theoretical background for this method of teaching.

This is the first in a series of skills books published as part of Mitchell Hamline School of Law's Laboratory for Advancing Dispute Resolution Skills Teaching (DRI Skills Lab).
