Stephen Harrison, an adjunct professor at the University of North Texas, attempted to revive the Bar Review happy hour tradition from his law school days. However, he faced backlash from students who deemed the idea inappropriate for an academic setting. This reflects a broader cultural change where modern students seem to be socializing less in informal settings. Harrison's experience highlights a potential shift in social dynamics within legal education, suggesting a need for creative solutions to foster community among students and faculty.
"I was only seeing them once a week. I thought a Friday happy hour could let me interact with the students and fellow instructors more."
"They were kinda shocked by the idea-like, that it would be improper for a school to host a happy hour."
"It's just been this cultural change that's happened over time. I found myself worrying about it. My students are just hanging out less in general."
