• Practicing Theory: Legal Education for the Twenty-First Century

Law practice and legal education are facing fundamental changes. Many assume that these changes will force law schools to give up on theory and focus more on training students for the practice of law. However, this Essay shows that the future may be more uncertain and complex. The only thing that is certain is that law schools may face, for the first time, the need to provide the type of education the market demands rather than serving lawyers’ and law professors’ preferences. Legal educators must respond to these demands by serving not just the existing U.S. market for legal services but also a global market for legal information. This may call for training in some, but not all, of the theories and disciplines that have been developing in law schools.

• Killer Credit!

A customer service representative explained that the charge was "residual interest" from two months prior that had not yet been applied. Although she didn't grasp the concept fully, [Candace Angus] swallowed the news and paid her next bill in full. Thirty days later, residual interest was still on the statement, and higher than the month before. "[Capital One] caught me entirely by surprise," she says. "I'd never heard of that practice before. It should be clear to the consumer that interest is being held up for a few months," Angus fumes. "Is it to the benefit of the consumer or is it to the benefit of the credit card company?" While she acknowledges that others have it worse than her-because her problem didn't lead to default or loads of debt-Angus' experience typifies those of many...

• Credit Card Policies for Allocating Payments: Its Impact On Risk-Based Pricing and Comprehension by Consumers

Credit card borrowers can have balances on the same card at several different rates at once. By choosing a favorable method of allocating payments to balances, issuers can substantially raise the interest rates paid by borrowers. The impact of this policy on risk-based pricing is examined using computer-simulated accounts. It is found that the prevailing policy used by issuers causes inverse risk-based pricing. In addition, a survey shows that few credit card users understand the impact of payment allocation. The impact of recent legislation on payment allocation policy is also examined.
