The Foundation’s two-year study of legal education involved a reassessment of teaching and learning in American and Canadian law schools today. Intensive field work was conducted at a cross section of 16 law schools during the 1999-2000 academic year. The study re-examines “thinking like a lawyer”—the paramount educational construct currently in use. The report shows how law school teaching affords students powerful intellectual tools while also shaping education and professional practice in subsequent years in significant, yet often unrecognized, ways. The study was funded by The Atlantic Philanthropies.
