Two Past Perspectives on Legal Education
For a December Friday I thought I'd link to two older pieces on legal education that you may not have seen:
- Michael Froomkin's "A Virtual Law School?," which he describes as "only slightly tongue-in-cheek." The slide show was presented at the 2000 AALS conference.
- An 1992 article in the Chicago Reader called "The Catcher in the Drain." I think the author's advocacy of "antilaw counselors" has come to life on the web.

I remember Professor Froomkin's talk. It was a barn-burner at the time. I wrote an essay covering similar ground at the time. Available online here...

Some of the predictions are coming true albeit much more slowly than I predicted.
