How should a law school teach thinking as well as rules?
This book argues for a deliberate, thoughtful design of the law curriculum to build thinking lawyers. It explores how to select subjects and arrange their presentation to shape judgment, analysis, and professional growth.
McClain discusses what a modern law school should teach, how students are prepared, and why the sequence matters. It weighs training, methods, and the balance between historical insight and practical application, all aimed at deeper understanding rather than rote learning.
The author also tackles key choices, from how to start—theory vs. actual cases—to the role of texts, case discovery, and the value of disciplined, coherent study over scattered, repetitive instruction.
Ideal for educators designing or revising a law program, and for readers curious about how to shape future lawyers.
