While I was perusing the recent U.S. News & World Report when I came across an interesting article that highlights the importance of incorporating business skills into the traditional law school education. I could not agree more; business skills are valuable, particularly as students move from the classroom into the real world. It seems that many students are not fully satisfied with the current state of legal education (myself included), and some schools are tinkering with certain aspects of their program, but nobody wants to launch a full scale revamp. Maybe the better question is should law schools revamp, tinker, or stick with the status quo?
The current legal education system is relatively unchanged from Dean Langdell's original casebook method. The most recent example of shaking up legal eduction came from Washington and Lee University School of Law when they decided to make the final year of law school completely "experiential in nature."
While some think the change is radical, I'm not so sure it is such a gigantic step.
Many schools already have a practical skills requirement, or encourage students to use their skills in a practical setting even if there is no explicit requirement. Moreover, law students are a relatively bright bunch and I bet they can pick up a lot of these skills on the job with or without any tinkering from the law school. Still, I like the fact that law schools are performing self evaluations and trying to provide the best education they can muster.
But what about an overall revamp in the legal education system?
My take is that law school, like the common law*, embraces incremental change over broad changes. The once legendary Socratic method turns out to be "not that bad," let alone as bad as legend holds. Also, some professors simply prefer to teach in a lecture format rather than the use the Socratic method (which seems to be a more modern trend).
It looks like change within the legal education does happen, but at an incremental rate — which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Incremental change is effective, in this case, because nobody knows how an overhaul of the status quo would affect the quality of law school graduates. I'd hate to drop a couple hundred grand on an administration's best guess at legal education. Sure the state of legal education is somewhat stagnant, but it works (for most). And if my musings here are correct, the system seems to undergo self-evaluative incremental change for a reason, and that makes good business sense to this investor in his own legal education.
*Ugg, did I really just type that?
