Comment: Professors Gundlach and Santangelo have done several empirical studies on how metacognitive skills teaching can improve law school performance, including the one mentioned above. They assert, “We conclude that, based on the relationship between metacognitive skills, academic success in law school, and bar passage, law schools have an ethical obligation to support law faculty in explicitly and intentionally incorporating metacognitive skills instruction into the law curriculum.” A strong statement, but one my own research supports (here; Chapter Three).
