From I’m Suing Law School:

The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching did a two-year study of the American legal education system.

Verdict: “Law school provides the beginning, not the full development, of students’ professional competence and identity. At present, what most students get as a beginning is insufficient.” (See article.)

Solution? “[F]ar more emphasis on practical instruction.”

On the plus side, “Many of the leading law schools have announced the beginning of serious re-examinations of the law school curriculum.”
