With an emphasis on theory, not practicality, law schools are falling short in teaching proven business concepts needed to more purposefully develop individual practices and provide the necessary skills to deliver best-in-class service to today’s clients.
Most lawyers didn’t go to business school. Instead, they spent three years independently synthesizing thousands of pages of case law, engaging in endless Socratic debate and learning how to examine every angle of an issue. What’s missing is an understanding of key business concepts, in addition to an emphasis on the soft skills that are crucial for long-term professional success and an understanding of the sales and service role that lawyers have to adopt to build their practice.
