Plumbers apprentice so that they may become well trained and certified master plumbers. I am in law school so that I may gain the qualifications and certification necessary to be a lawyer and attain a job as one. To me, the function of law school is to provide training for a trade: the trade of lawyering. I do not believe that there is anything that makes the law and the trade of lawyering any more venerable than other trades such as plumbing, electrical work, and vehicle repair.

>		Jonathan -- Plumbing and vehicle repair have clearer end goals that involve less dispute. Usually, if a building has leaky pipes, both landlords and tenants agree that the plumber should fix the problem, and they have a similar conception of what a fixed pipe looks like (it doesn't leak). In the law there is always someone on the other side. Let's say there are two plumbers, one hired by a landlord who asks him to turn off the water to a tenant's apartment because he doesn't like the look of her, and one hired by the tenant to get the water turned back on. Is there no difference between them? Would you be the first plumber in one building and the second in the next, and consider yourself simply plying a trade? Would you build the plumbing for a gas chamber?
