Law: What is it about law school that teaches students how to "think like a lawyer"?
-
what parts of law school help students learn to "think like a lawyer" and how does one measure success in this regard?
-
Answer:
One learns how to "spot the issue". This is somewhat like, in idiomatic English, "separating the wheat from the chaff", i.e., focusing on what really matters. One learns this skill by reading cases and other materials, then discussing them in class - sometimes using the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method#Law_schools, though, in my experience, few professors can use that method effectively. Law school exams and bar exams presumably test that skill, at least to some extent.This answer is not a substitute for professional legal advice....

The course all law schools teach on file management, billing, and accounts receivable. Actually, if there was such a thing as 'thinking like a lawyer", you would see a lot more agreement among them on "the law".
