I think most practicing lawyers understand that law review does nothing(*) to prepare a new grad for practice. Most of the substance of law review is, not to put too fine a point on it, bullshit.<br /><br />(*)I actually believe that the law review experience DOES do one thing to prepare a law student to work at a law firm--it schools students in how to function in an intensely hierarchical environment. At least that was my law review experience; perhaps mileage varies.Jadznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-64497970732109689572011-12-13T22:45:20.659-08:002011-12-13T22:45:20.659-08:007:55 is right.

The general opinion of commenters on this blog is that being on a law review, any law review, increases the chance of being hired by medium or large law firms. This is not my experience. A number of years years ago I was a small cog on the hiring committee of a large (then) law firm. The only law review that they were interested in was the principal law review of the law school the applicant attended. No attention was paid or comment made about an applicant being on his schools Journal of Environmental Law, it's Public Interest Law Review, Journal of Law and Philosopht, Journal of International Law and so forth. Your were either on your schools law review or it wasn't considered. I can't even remember any discussion of the applicants published comments in his law review. "Law Review" was simply shorthand for "only top graduates need apply". When the law schools would allow it the law firm where I worked would state that only top graduates would be interviewed or considered. A second comment on another issue raised in the comments to this post, numerous people complain of backstabing and other nefarious conduct by fellow law students to raise their position on the class curve. Again I have no recollection of such behaviour in my law school years. Ts may be dependent on what law school you go to. I went to a very large law school with large classes. Even if you could have sabotaged a student or two in a class (at very high risk to yourself) it would have had the most negligible effect or your final class rank. Or maybe I'm just old.

After doing so, law professors can assign a few cases to illustrate the application of doctrines already learned. This would be a much quicker way of teaching the basics. It should not take more than one year, and you can throw in courses in legal research and writing. <br /><br />The next two years should consist of externships and clinics to train students to try a case, to write an appeal, and to represent clients in several practice areas of their choice. These clinics and externships should be supervised by adjunct local practitioners, not by bullshitting law professors who haven't seen the inside of a courtroom in 15 years, if ever. During this time, I suppose, you can encourage students to sharpen their wits by taking a few elective graduate seminars in legal history, law and literature, or legal philosophy. <br /><br />In the world we are sailing into--shrinking law firms, public sector austerity-- half or more of law grads will have to practice as solos if they are to obtain any return at all on their massive investment in law school. Unless they have the skills to actually operate as practitioners, they will be an walking train wrecks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-36529469207988972282011-12-13T21:42:07.636-08:002011-12-13T21:42:07.636-08:00You have to climb up into their own asses with the...You have to climb up into their own asses with them in order for them to notice....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-38247385822772875952011-12-13T21:32:50.899-08:002011-12-13T21:32:50.899-08:00You know what I noticed about law professors?
