3rd year is a waste. 2nd year is arguably, too.

It’s time we enacted a practical apprenticeship like our counterparts in med school have had for years.
You are talking about a makor shift to a more UK oriented style of legal education

2nd year definitely isn't a waste, IMO.

1 year? I could boil my practice down to a semester: Torts, LA Civil Procedure, Legal Writing, Evidence, Insurance, and Spine Injuries 101.
I did cite Lev's Precis the other day, but that was an anomaly.

I work in family law. An attorney in my office may use Lexis for research once a week... maybe. A majority of our arguing is petty shite.

LOL I’ve been debating going to law school to supplement my future consulting ventures.
Most of you bunch of idiots can’t think critically about/in business.
What we need is business folks with law degrees.

I came out of law school not knowing how to file a pleading or take a deposition. Sure, Pennoyer v Neff is crucial to my livelihood but maybe a little practical knowledge would’ve been useful.

I’m 32. Am I too old for law school?

Certainly don’t let us stop you, you’ve got it all figured out.

How about we just round you guys up, put you all on an island and bomb the shite out of it.
That would fix a lot of problems, worldwide.

Not at all. Government doesn’t have the best lawyers.

Well this thread quickly turned into a bunch of lawyers arguing that their way is the best way . . . go figure!
Agree with the assessment that the current model is not sufficient, but similar to the way the Multistate Bar Exam attempts to revert 49 states back to a point in time when the law was similar in all states, so everyone can be tested the same, there probably isn’t an ideal way to get courtroom experience. What works in a small rural jurisdiction probably is not adequate as experience to step into a circuit court in a major city.
To that end, I would like to see a local rule adopted by the courts to set a requirement to practice if the attorney has been licensed for less than 3 years.

This really has no bearing on me.
I do feel this applies to another situation though.
McDonald's associates could desperately use another week of training.
I said McChicken ADD CHEESE
How hard is that bullshite?
Just press the cheese button.
Additionally, if I order a large French fry, the large container doesn't make me feel any better if volume still matches that of a medium fry. That's simple theft, and I will be bringing a lawsuit with my incredibly inexperienced, recent law school graduate, lawyer leading the charge.

It’s the only profession where you learn by getting knots on your head. Silly.

Speaking of Pennoyer, as a 1L who just finished spending around half of the semester in civ pro discussing personal jurisdiction, I would like to know how common it is to actually encounter personal jurisdiction issues for your everyday attorney? I guess it really just depends on the type of law you do and cases you handle, but I’d like to get some insight from the practicing attorneys out there.

Not all practices of law need courtroom experience or litigation experience
