: PrawfsLaw school as intellectual exercise
By Dan Markel, Ethan Leib, Rick Garnett, Matt Bodie, Paul Horwitz , Steve Vladeck, and Orly Lobel
At a Christmas party this past weekend, I got into a conversation with someone thinking about going to law school. This woman has a master's and is ABD in social work. She knows she does not want to practice law. Really, she said, she is not sure what she wants to do, but thinks she would like being back in the classroom and back in an academic environment.
So the question: Is law school the place to go to obtain "education for education's sake." Is it the place to go for a purely intellectual exercise? Mind you, this woman would not be thinking of heading up to Yale or The University of Chicago, but probably would wind up at FIU or a school at that level.
Thoughts?
