< | Eben:
Though I was not initially planning on revising this essay, I have had an enlightening summer and what I've learned felt relevant. I have no expectation that you will be able to provide comments since I didn't originally ask for them; I just felt that I should keep thinking and writing after all.
Thanks,

something happening in society using words." You can learn
lawyering, and apply what you know in situations that do not call for
or admit of "law." In truth, international law's lawlessness is not
deeper than the lawlessness of most microsituations on the street, in
business, or in the management of organizations and families. It's
just larger.
Law school, from a realist perspective, should be about lawyering,
not law. Law is the stuff one learns in the process of lawyering,
and law school should teach you how to learn it.
What you are calling "legal training," which I would call "learning
how to be a lawyer," is therefore what you want regardless of whose
baggage—which we might also call rights, interests, or
power—is being sorted through, recognized, forwarded, rifled,
discarded, or transformed. | | | | |
