(Dean, Denver), Analyzing Carnegie's Reach: The Contingent Nature of Innovation, 62 J. Legal Educ. ___ (2013):

Our interest is curricular innovation, with a focus on the
recommendations of the 2007 Carnegie report – Educating Lawyers.
Recognizing that meaningful reform requires an institutional commitment,
our interest also includes initiatives in the areas of faculty
development and faculty incentive structure that would support
curricular innovation. Additionally, we are curious as to what might
explain change and whether certain school characteristics will do so or
whether external factors that challenge legal education offer an
explanation. To explore these issues we surveyed law schools (a 60.5%
response rate). The results show that while there is much activity in
the area of curriculum – including the key matters of lawyering,
professionalism, and especially integration – there is much less in the
important areas of faculty development and faculty incentive structure.
School characteristics, including rank, do not provide a sufficient
explanation for the patterns emerging from the survey’s results.
Additionally, activity by law schools with regard to curriculum, faculty
development, and faculty professional activity is not simply a response
to external challenges either. However, it appears that those pressures
are providing a potential window of opportunity for innovation,
reinforcing the need for change, and accelerating its pace.
