>		Pietro, I like your thoughts on this topic. I have a thought about this class that addresses your question: “I wonder if what we want is something that can be learned”. A saying that fits this class is “the first step to doing is understanding”. I think that Eben's vision of this class is to identify and introduce problems with the structure of lawyering and law in society. I think his purpose in doing this is to try to give us the understanding of the problems that we will face after graduation so that we can navigate the professional waters successfully. It is this understanding that is the first step to our careers, the doing. I believe that we can learn this step, the understanding.

Beyond the first step, I think that we each need to decide what 'successfully' means to us. I agree (if I understood you correctly) that this class can be a vehicle for defining our own 'successful', but that we need to try to focus our discussion to that point as we go. I believe that this step, the 'ought' in your first post, cannot be learned, only discussed.

I also cleaned Theodore's broken link.
