 My friend Rory Skaggs mentioned how interesting he finds it that so few law professors ever were (as he put it) actual lawyers. I am still collecting my thoughts on this matter, but wanted to open the topic up to general discussion. What role does this play in our legal education? To what extent is this a disadvantage? Is it even a disadvantage? Advantage?

  as it is to most of your teachers. That's not important here: you're studying to be a lawyer, not an educational reformer. You might want to take up the task in hand.

I started this topic as a place to discuss what an "actual" lawyer was. Since I would claim many of our professors who have never worked at a firm or government post are nevertheless able to be considered "lawyers" by many of the conceptions of a lawyer that our readings have provided. The legal education portion was concerned with what effect their respective histories may have on what type of lawyers we are pushed into being by the current system, and how we should adjust our conceptions about our future moving forward because of it. I may have initialized the subject poorly. However, If this is not what the wiki is for I apologize and will move on to other topics.
