Abstract
This post summarizes the “Foundations of Practice” survey of lawyers which identifies “foundations” that lawyers need soon after graduation. These include communication, emotional and interpersonal intelligence, passion, ambition, professionalism, and other qualities and talents. Almost all of the items on the list refer to personal qualities that law schools don’t emphasize in their curricula. By contrast, law schools focus on things that only small proportions of the lawyers think are necessary soon after graduation.
