The Law School Promise Ep. 2: Does Law School Deliver?

Law360's Pro Say - News & Analysis on Law and the Legal Industry

The Pro Say podcast is taking a break this week for the holiday. In its place, please enjoy Law360 Explores: The Law School Promise, a two-part series looking at whether the structures of legal education are working. In Episode 2, we take our seats inside the prestigious legal classroom, where law professors teaching a century-old curriculum engage in Socratic dialogue to shape you into thinking like a lawyer. But is that the most effective way of teaching, for all students? On this episode, we investigate how outdated methods like one final exam and cold calling can negatively impact students, and some of the ways that legal education reforms could change the curriculum for the better.
