http://www.economist.com/node/21584392/print The Economist Making law school cheaper For many, two years is plenty The president suggests scrapping the last year of law school Aug 31st 2013 | NEW YORK | From the print edition "THIS is probably controversial to say, but what the heck," said Barack Obama on August 23rd. "Law schools would probably be wise to think about being two years instead of three." Mr Obama once taught constitutional law; his idea could put many of his former colleagues out of work. Yet he has a point. For most of the 1800s, would-be lawyers (such as Abraham Lincoln) learned the trade as apprentices. Law schools sprouted up late in the century, in two main flavours. Elite universities set up legal departments for posh students; night schools catered to the sons of immigrants. To stop the proles from sullying the image of the bar - ahem, to provide sufficient instruction in the intricacies of the law - the snootier institutions convinced the American Bar Association (ABA) to accredit only schools that required a costly three years' worth of courses for a degree. It still does. Most of the basic principles of legal analysis can be learned in a year, and law schools have made little effort to teach practical skills, since firms have historically trained new attorneys themselves. So students tend to fill their final year with classes on curious or obscure topics. Over the past decade, however, fees have soared, requiring students to borrow ever-greater sums: the average 2013 graduate will be $140,000 in hock, by one estimate. Meanwhile, firms have cut back on hiring, leaving many debt-laden young lawyers unemployed. That has led critics - now including Mr Obama - to suggest that law schools pare their coursework down to two years, letting students save money and start earning sooner. Cutting costs would also allow more graduates to take lower-paying jobs in public-interest law. That would benefit students, but not law schools. Already suffering from declining enrolment, they would have to tighten their belts if they lost a third of their tuition revenue. So some schools are trying to reinvent the final year: New York University is placing students in foreign universities or in government, while Stanford has emphasised interdisciplinary classes and clinical courses. Since first-year lawyers at big firms now earn $160,000 a year, their time has become too valuable to squander on training. "We can use that time to prepare them for practice better and cheaper than firms can," says Larry Kramer, the former dean of Stanford Law. But despite Mr Obama's words, even schools that make no such effort are still shielded by the threeyear requirement. The ABA has set up a task force on legal education, and its commission on accreditation standards is now conducting a quinquennial review. Ten of the council's 21 members come from the legal academy, which wants to maintain the status quo. James Silkenat, the ABA's president, says he supports "innovation" to reduce costs - but still believes schools yield "a better product with the full three years". Many advocates for reform are turning to the judiciary, which sets the rules for bar admission. Last year Arizona began allowing students to take the test while still in law school. If more states follow its lead - and if firms will hire lawyers without an ABA-approved degree - then adventurous law schools might offer a two-year option. Or perhaps Mr Obama could tell the Department of Education to strip the ABA of its role as the federally sanctioned accreditor if it does not give schools the "flexibility" Mr Silkenat says he favours.

Za dużo nauki wszystkich kolejnych obszarów prawa, których poźniej prawnik i tak nie wykorzystuje w pracy. Prawo międzynarodowe, konstytucyjne, administracyjne, a ktoś chce być karnistą; ze dwa lata musi się uczyć tych innych obszarów. Ale i bezsensownie rozdęte prawo, pierdyliony ustaw, przepisów wykonawczych, wykładni, które i tak są niewiążące, itp. To, czego uczą w sferze "myśli prawniczej" jest potem skutecznie demontowane przez zakuwanie setek artykułów z kpk, kpc, kpa, ustaw i innych szczegółów. Później, człowiek idzie do adwokata i musi go wręcz "coachować", bo okazuje się, że poza schemat nie potrafi wyjść. A. |

A w USA nie jest podobnie ? Na studiach ucza "podstaw podstaw", a reszta to lata praktyki na stazu u adwokata, wymaganych zreszta do uzyskania licencji ? J. |
