  • Summary

    In 2007, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching published its influential study of legal education, Educating Lawyers.1 In stressing that the formation of professional identity and purpose is central to the development of law students into lawyers,2 Educating Lawyers introduced new language to the legal academy – but not a new mission. For generations, law schools have proclaimed the goal of graduating well-rounded and well-grounded new lawyers who have made good progress toward their socialization in the legal profession.3 The problem that Educating Lawyers perceived was the failure of law schools to pursue the professional formation dimension of their educational work with anything like the intentionality and drive for excellence they exhibit when helping students to think like a lawyer.4 Professional formation was left much to chance. It was the hoped-for consequence of the student’s travails in the bramble bush that is American legal education.
