Like the three reports discussed above, and, in fact, drawing heavily on those reports, the curricular change literature generally takes the position that the case - dialogue method of pedagogy does not sufficiently
prepare law students to become practicing
lawyers.74 While students learn basic case analysis
skills through this method, they are usually not explicitly taught how to integrate those
skills into a larger set of
lawyering skills, in particular those identified as fundamental in the MacCrate Report.75 Further, while reading and analyzing cases, the focus of most law school classes, are important
lawyering skills, they represent only a small portion of what
lawyers actually do.76 Consequently, these commentators advocate for teaching legal
skills as they are used in their real - world context, not merely as abstract ideas, and for integrating theoretical analysis and practical

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
