The shattering events of January 6 in Washington painfully reminded me: terror can appear on very short notice!

@RachelGurvich @lawprofblawg I was all set to settle in to read—and you had to throw some🍍 into the game? 🙄

@lawprofblawg It's super light Saturday night reading.
Written with one space between sentences. Best enjoyed with a pineapple pizza.

I know what I'm reading tonight! "Students can feel these inequities affecting their legal education, even when they can’t yet see them. These inequities had gradually become visible to us, during our time in legal academia."

We did it! @aznchew and I are excited to share an early draft of our essay, "Saying the Quiet Parts Out Loud: Teaching Students How Law School Works." privpapers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

@LeanLawStrategy I see the world’s labor market in law becoming more fungible as work from home takes root. But as you say, all this takes time. And “had we but world enough and time…”

Outside the US, different ballgame. Employers are much more comfortable with ed paths involving wide range of education. Will ed bias in US change? Hard to tell. We don't have the apprentice system history. Huge $$ invested in colleges & a push to make 2 year college ...

@LeanLawStrategy Don't quarrel with what you say, but I really wonder whether 2/4 year degrees will be as common? (Think also outside the United States.)

My bias comes from being in companies a long time and on the hiring side in various roles (law as well as manufacturing management). The cert may get you the first job. But to get promoted, you start competing against folks who have 2/4 year degrees (plus cert). ...

@LeanLawStrategy Thanks for the comments. I don't see the jobs obtained through certificate training as a dead-end. In part, they will substitute for the many jobs where present lawyers are over-trained. And yes, I assume we will get away from one size fits all training.

@marclauritsen Yes. And that it should be so is almost insufferably sad if one cherishes the many wonderful things that can happen at law schools!

Over on Medium, I've posted a brief provocation paper I circulated privately some weeks ago. peterdlederer.medium.com/?p=15e5769fac00. It touches on practice-ready, T-shaped, mass distance learning for law--and points in between! Comments and reactions are welcome!
English
@profmadison Thanks, Mike. Getting much of this done seems to be a broadly shared value. But getting it done with any measure of dispatch is daunting!
English
There's a lot to like and support here. I'm on board. But certification-driven legal training is only part of law's futures. For a broad conceptual precursor to @peterdlederer's pragmatic proposal, explore the Fire Swamp series: madisonian.net/2020/08/14/leg… #futurelaw #legaleducation

I think the core idea has merit, but (of course) I have some caveats. The first is career pathing. Yes, you can get a certificate inexpensively and relatively quickly through various programs. And that certificate may get you a job. But getting the next job and the ...

The number of law school applicants with top (175-180) LSAT scores has doubled over last year. You don't suppose 1st-year associate starting salaries zooming past $200,000 has anything to do with that, do you?

My own experiences over the years of being a client mirror this. A couple have been flawless; alas, these are the exceptions.

@mcelhearn Really can do many of the tricks of a salamander at a tiny fraction of the cost.

@ZhangTaisu It's the pettiness of the kind of chiseling that is really depressing.

After some digging around, it seems that the American practice of ranking countries by total medals at the Olympics started after the US placed third in gold medals at the 1976 summer Olympics. So yes, it has a long history by now, but its origins are still pretty nefarious…

@michael_okun @JohnAFlood Education, medicine, infrastructure, penal systems...and on and on and on. Let's run this like a business. What say? So much more efficient.
Sad.

Over the next couple of months our lab will be moving to Dept. of Psychology at University of Sheffield. I wish I could say that I am delighted to make this announcement, but the circumstances of this move are far from delightful. (1/13)

And to clarify, by care I mean "what difference does it make to you".
You could say at least some partners in Big Law care, but clearly not enough to force change (either in their respective firms or in one or more new big firms). Associates may care, but their solution ...

@LeanLawStrategy I've not been around for the full 100 years (though it sometimes feels like it!), but over the 70 years I've been an observer, things have worsened. I think a lot of people care...but that doesn't mean you're not trapped.
