In our roles as the heirs of Coke, Mansfield, Holmes, et al., ad infinitum, each of us owes a duty to ensure the excellence of our own professional heirs. We can begin by ensuring the excellence of their legal education, by taking an active interest in Maryland's law schools, and by encouraging curricular changes that, based on our years of professional experience, we believe are desirable.
First and foremost, we suggest that the "case method" and its handmaiden, the Socratic dialog, as the primary means of instruction in basic principles of the law, must join their originator, Christopher Columbus Langdell, in the dustbin of history. A relic of the days when the study of law was thought to be a "science," with legal principles to be "discovered" by exploring the cases, the case method ...

Law practice and legal education are facing fundamental changes. Many assume that these changes will force law schools to give up on theory and focus more on training students for the practice of law. However, this Essay shows that the future may be more uncertain and complex. The only thing that is certain is that law schools may face, for the first time, the need to provide the type of education the market demands rather than serving lawyers’ and law professors’ preferences. Legal educators must respond to these demands by serving not just the existing U.S. market for legal services but also a global market for legal information. This may call for training in some, but not all, of the theories and disciplines that have been developing in law schools.

The premier strength of legal education resides in its dual identity as an academic department of a university and a professional school training future practitioners. This dual identity, which gives law school its unique blend of the intellectual and the practical, can support law graduates as the legal profession undergoes a profound restructuring. Traditional classroom education, when focused not on revealing legal doctrine but on cultivating foundational skills of analysis, interpretation, synthesis, and reasoning, will benefit law graduates even in an altered legal practice environment. Clinical education-which engages students in the multidimensional enterprise of representing clients to inculcate a wide range of generalizable skills and public service values-will need to assume a...
