The Growing Disjunction Between Legal Education And The Legal Profession, Harry T. Edwards
The Growing Disjunction Between Legal Education And The Legal Profession, Harry T. Edwards
Michigan Law Review
This article is my response to Professor Priest and all other legal academicians who disdain law teaching as an endeavor in pursuit of professional education. My view is that if law schools continue to stray from their principal mission of professional scholarship and training, the disjunction between legal education and the legal profession will grow and society will be the worse for it. My arguments are quite straightforward, and probably not wholly original. Nevertheless, they surely merit repetition.
