Is "Thinking Like a Lawyer" Really What We Want to Teach?
Abstract
This article argues that the phrase thinking like a lawyer assumes that other professions don't have their own ways of approaching problems and that law schools only need to teach how lawyers think, rather than how lawyers do what they do. It suggests that law schools should do much more than just teach law students how to think.Suggested Citation
