The Report's central conclusion is that, although traditional
legal pedagogy is very effective in certain aspects, it overemphasizes
legal theory and underemphasizes practical skills and professional development.5 By focusing on theory in the abstract setting of the classroom, the Report argues, traditional
legal education undermines the ethical
foundations of law students and fails to prepare them adequately for actual practice.6 Traditional
legal education is effective in teaching students to «think like lawyers,» but needs significant improvement in teaching them to function as ethical and responsible professionals after law school.7 As I will discuss in greater detail below, in general, the Report recommends «contextualizing» and «humanizing»
legal education by integrating clinical and professional responsibility courses into the traditional core curriculum.8 In this way, students will learn to think like lawyers in the concrete setting of actual cases and clients.9 The Report refers to pedagogical theories developed in other educational settings and argues that these theories show that teaching
legal theory in the context of practice will not only
better prepare students to be lawyers, it will also foster development of a greater and more deeply felt sense of ethical and professional identity.10
