In a recent article in the Nebraska Law Review, University of Oregon Clinical Professor Elizabeth Ruiz Frost asks a question that should make us all take notice. Reading is Dead: Can Law Schools Make Lawyers from Non-Readers?, 104 Neb. L. Rev. 293 (2025). After thoroughly documenting and rightly decrying the decline in overall reading skills in the U.S. and thus amongst our students, she suggests law professors take note of the trend, assign fewer pages, explicitly address problem-solving and the empathy gap in our pedagogy, assess students in part on reading skills, and advocate for policies that will emphasize reading in lower grades. I’m not on board with shorter assignments but certainly commend Prof. Frost for offering suggestions on how we can respond to this unsettling trend.
