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

having full responsibility for a le.
Traditionally, law schools teach legal theory and legal
analysis. Increasingly, however, they have started to teach
some students entry-level practicalities, from trial advocacy
to negotiation to alternative dispute resolution. ey teach

ceed in law practice. is may come in the future, but law
schools are a long way from accomplishing that today.
