- Title
A Lawyer's Lament: Law Schools and the Profession of Law.
- Authors
Hyatt, Wayne S.
- Abstract
The article underscores several of the concerns raised in the paper of professor John Henry Schlegel, and offers perspectives on legal education in the U.S. He points out that legal education fails to reflect the needs of its consumers, specifically, the firms and departments that hire law school graduates. He contends that legal educators must desert their disdain for the practice and practitioners of law in order to better prepare their students to contribute to the legal profession and experience rewarding careers. He opines that legal educators should not only teach their students to think like a lawyer, but to be a professional.
