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
