An Essay On Rebuilding And Renewal In American Legal Education, Jack Graves
An Essay On Rebuilding And Renewal In American Legal Education, Jack Graves
Touro Law Review
The American model of legal education is broken as a value proposition. Like a building with an undermined foundation, it must be rebuilt rather than refurbished. And, like any rebuilding project, it will be costly and disruptive to many of its occupants. However, it will also present unique opportunities for innovation and renewal.
