The Proposed Four-Year Law Curriculum: A Dissenting Opinion, Philip Mechem

Michigan Law Review

A conspicuous and very wholesome manifestation today in legal education is dissatisfaction with legal education. With education in general for that matter.

Thirty-six years ago (September, 1903) as Dean Bates was taking up law teaching as Tappan Professor of Law at Michigan, I was delivering an inaugural lecture as Dean of the Law School of the University of Nebraska.
