Mika and Tyler Argue that the “Dunning-Kruger effect” Colors Law Students’ Evaluations of their Teachers

C|M|LAW Legal Writing Professor Karin Mika and C|M|LAW Legal Writing Professor Emerita Barbara Tyler attended the Association of Legal Writing Directors conference June 26-28 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Mika and Tyler participated on a panel called “Love me Now or Thank me Later,” arguing that the Dunning-Kruger effect colors law student reviews of law faculty teaching. This references a 2012 article that Tyler published in the Touro Law Review with Catherine Wasson, a Legal Writing Professor from Elon University.
