David - I cleaned up a few grammatical errors and misspellings. Two other issues I noticed:

1) I think one issue you might want to consider is that the law attracts a self-selecting pool of risk averse people. While law school may play a role in making us even more risk averse, I have a feeling that most people who come to law school are not very interested in taking risks. If they were, they wouldn't need to come to law school, because they would start up their own business. They say people who go to business school are risk takers and people who go to law school are risk averse. Definitely true in my family - my older brother went to B school and created his own start-up after graduation, and I came to law school. Maybe also check out Abi's paper about risk aversion.

2) Another area you might want to consider is our conversation about clinics and any other currently existing opportunities to learn real lawyering skills in law school. Is it possible for someone who is really focused on getting practical experience to do so at CLS as it currently exists? I'm not sure, but you might want to explore that question a little more.

Nos vemos luego. Que te vaya bien durante del verano.

Nate - Your first point is a completely valid one. My assertion, however, is that law school need to account for this. Many people who go to law school are risk averse. So the schools are working with a difficult population. But by focusing on the negative elements of risk taking, schools are creating even more risk averse people, which will inhibit their effectiveness as lawyers.

The clinics issue is an interesting one. I didn't apply for any for this upcoming semester. Hopefully I will be in one at some point in my law school career, and will be able to explore this issue a bit more. But as of right now, I don't think I have enough knowledge to discuss the issue in depth.

Thanks again for the thought you've put into these comments, and best wishes for an interesting and exciting summer.

Cuidate.
