About the Young Advocates
Series
to bridge the gap between law school and
law practice? It used to be that experience in both trans-
actions and courtrooms taught junior lawyers everything
that law school missed. Today, the legal system has be-
come so complex that trials are few and far between, and
those that occur take weeks or months, not days. Trans-
actions are also far more complex than they once were. It
always seems that so much is at stake — all the time.
e result of all this complexity is that senior law-
yers do not delegate responsibility to their juniors. ey
delegate tasks, not les. As a result, the junior litigator or
transactions lawyer simply does not learn as much or as
well when playing a subordinate role.
Law schools teach legal analysis. Increasingly, they
have started to teach some students entry-level practi-
calities, from trial advocacy to negotiation to alternative
dispute resolution. ey teach for success in law school,
but not yet for success in practice. is may come in the
future, but law schools are a long way from accomplish-
ing that today.
