Professor Lutz-Christian Wolff<\/a> has published an article entitled \u201cTeaching Legal Creativity: Really?\u201d in the Asian Journal of Legal Education.<\/em><\/p>

Abstract: \u2018Legal creativity\u2019 is a popular buzzword used to describe one of the core skills successful lawyers are expected to command. Accordingly, it is a common understanding that legal education should train students to become creative lawyers. Interestingly, however, there is not much discussion about how this learning outcome can be achieved. Even more startling, the notion of \u2018legal creativity\u2019 as such is hardly ever explained in detail. This article originally aimed to fill the existing gap(s) by exploring what legal creativity means and how legal creativity can and should be taught. The research underpinning this article led to the surprising discovery that the notion of legal creativity is nothing but a triviality and \u2014 as far as legal reasoning is concerned \u2014 even an oxymoron. Legal education can therefore ignore the notion of legal creativity and focus on what is really important, that is, critical thinking, problem-solving and advocacy skills.<\/p>
