Abstract

Considering that lawyers spend much more time negotiating than going to trial, I offered suggestions for fundamentally reorganizing law school curricula and policies. This somewhat mischievous thought experiment includes ideas that are too radical for any law school to consider given the deeply entrenched institutionalization of legal education. But it is useful to ponder how law schools generally do a poor job of preparing students for the reality of practice and how schools might reform their curricula to do a better job.
