Truly Useful Law School Courses
As a faculty advisor, one of my jobs is to approve the courses my first-years plan to take next fall. Law students are fairly conservative and risk-averse in their choices, so usually I see the standard set of courses: Evidence, Bus. Org., Crim Pro, Admin, and the like. But the fabulous E. Noakes of McSweeney's has provided a list of *truly* useful courses that law schools should offer:
Classes My Top-Tier Law School Should Have Offered as Warnings About the Profession.
Cutting and Pasting Legal Lingo
Explaining Business Associations to the People Who Are Running Them
4 A.M. Word Processing and the Law
Ethics of Conspicuous Consumption
Forwarding E-mails: Theory and Practice: Seminar
Arbitrary-Deadline Negotiation Strategies
Crying Quietly: Clinic
Jeans-Friday Advocacy Workshop
Cutting and Pasting II: Plural to Singular
************
I'd like to add a few of my own:
Document Production: Theory and Practice
Windowless Document Warehouses--Practicum
and for the public-interest minded:
Finance and the Law: When Salary Doesn't Even Cover Loan Repayment
