The report's
recommendations are focused, supportive and highly
practical; it fully endorses the vision and ambitions behind the 100,000 Genomes Project and the National Genomic Medicine Service, but
where it does propose actions by the Government it is unambiguous in reasoning and urgency.
In a 2007 report, Educating Lawyers: Preparation for the Profession of Law (Carnegie Report), the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching reported on a number of gaps in legal education and set out a series of
recommendations for bridging those gaps.2 Among the authors» findings was the «increasingly urgent need to bridge the gap between analytical and
practical knowledge...» 3 The resulting
recommendation that the teaching of legal doctrine be integrated beyond «case - dialogue courses» and into courses that focus on more
practical skills acknowledged that this idea was «building on the work already underway in several law schools...» 4 One of the schools
where the teaching of legal analysis has long been integrated into practice - focused courses is the University of Maryland School of Law (Maryland).
