Let's begin with a thought experiment. Imagine that the year is 2030 and you are a successful attorney. One day you receive a call from a legal scholar who tells you that she is writing a book about legal education at the beginning of the twenty-first century, and she invites you to contribute a chapter. She explains that your chapter should be twenty to thirty pages long, but that the content is entirely up to you. Because you enjoy writing, you agree to write the chapter.
