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 teaching of societal, legal, and ethical issues is critical to an advertising education because the subjects increase students' understanding of the field, raise their awareness of broader effects beyond the promotion of products and services, and inform students of their responsibilities as professionals. This study examined how these subjects were taught at ninety-one universities and colleges in the United States. It found complex and cacophonous structures with high level of variation by which the courses were organized. An analysis of seventy-five syllabi found diverse sets of goals, extraneous content to advertising, little agreement on textbooks, and inconsistent standards to measure student performance.
Allan J. Gibber had a routine with the Maryland Institute for the Continuing Professional Legal Education of Lawyers Inc. for more than 30 years. He would update and add supplements to his popular "Gibber on Estate Administration" and then lead seminars at four locations across the state. To mark the 2011 supplement to his fifth edition, though, Gibber has only one scheduled talk, March 15 in Baltimore. The Maryland State Bar Association will air the session live online and then archive it for future viewings. The event will be the MSBA's first attempt at a live webcast.
Use of the case-dialogue method also dictates law school faculties. Because the goal of the method is to teach abstract legal doctrine rather than concrete law, the method demands a faculty of legal theorists who are not necessarily experienced practitioners.7 Educational pedigree and publication, then, are the coin of legal academia, while the world of legal practice most values expertise and experience.8 Thus, the case-dialogue pedagogy uses professors who often have practiced only briefly, some years in the past, to teach broad legal principles to students who overwhelmingly hope to practice, not simply discuss, law.

Legal education exists at the confluence of three activities: the practice of law, the enterprise of understanding that practice, and the study of law's possible understandings within the context of a university. These three activities exercise a reciprocal effect on one another. On the one hand, the practice of law supplies the materials that are to be understood through university study. On the other hand, that practice is transformed by the very enterprise of articulating understandings of it. The central challenge that has faced legal education since it was wrested from the legal profession and lodged in the universities has been how to integrate the three activities. The central theme of this article has been that private law is animated by a distinctive mode of thinking and discou...
