The Problem with Law School Culture

Line: 34 to 34
 

Conclusion

For law school culture to change, we must reorient the pedagogy away from its rigid adherence to foundation courses and the Socratic method and toward one that offers more academic freedom, is more collaborative, and attempts to integrate professional and academic goals. By emphasizing a variety of skills and avoiding pitting students against one another, we can stop the perpetuation of a culture that encourages students to make choices not for themselves, but to stand tall among their peers. \ No newline at end of file

Division of labor is okay. You can leave the job of changing law school to the people who are paid to do that. You can change your education, which is more possible, more helpful, and in the end more important.

I have no confidence that law school will change in the near term in the direction you propose (which—allowing for the fact that you've only been here for a few weeks and I've been thinking about the matter for thirty-one years—we substantially agree about over the restricted portion of the domain we share. You will have more credibility, as you know, when you have finished going to law school, for example). There are many reasons to believe that those who are paid to change law school will fail to earn their wages, overall. But if every student such as yourself decided to change her or his education, whether the teachers changed law school would matter much less than you show it does now.
