Socratic Method (from the DVD "All About Law School"

just another one of the chapters from the DVD called "All About Law School". I personally enjoyed most of the chapters in this DVD. A few were a bit more entertaining (comedic) than informational . . .but that was usually a welcome change in pace. I give it 'two thumbs up.'

This is NOT the Socratic Method. What Socrates said about his own method was,that he used questions to cause someone to debunk their own theories,and then would would "birth" their own wisdom as a midwife helps bear children. What these professors are doing is not Socratic, its interrogation.

Socrates only tried one case. And he lost. And they killed him afterwards. Why is it that we think the Socratic method is so great? haha.

[drakeboorer]

Is this for real? Socaris crated this method to give birth to truth . to come to truth by asking quetions. This Vidio is distorted and has no relevence to the socates methiod.

@Lunchos You have asked the right question. Why? The answer might be the reason why the Socratic method is used by so many. My answer is that because it is a method that educates by asking questions. First, I know nothing, last I know more than I did.

@Lunchos He didn't try to win, he simply lectured the courtmembers and made them even more angry than they were.

Wait. Am I missing something? Why does the video say Socrates got his method from Aristotle? I thought Plato was a student of Socrates and Aristotle was a student of Plato. Aristotle was born 15+ years after Socrates died.

Just a thought. This info is really helpful though. Keep up the good work!

Professors will be lurking around every corner, teeth bared, waiting to pounce and tear out your throat, and god help you if you struggle even once or else you'll get an F for the whole course.

We can never find justice at the hands of corrupt judges. (See YouTube videos) Judge to Judge on Illegal Payments to Judges / Evil Triangle of Court Corruption / Richard Fine / Dr Shirley Moore /SBX 211. The fight to end this title wave of corruption in our country must start with the corrupt judges. We can not bring evidence of corruption to corrupt judges. Los Angeles Superior Court judges are illegally and unconstitutionally taking 50,000.00 each for a total of 23 million per year.
