Law professors and law schools have just three years in which to shape future lawyers. We have to cover legal theory and jurisprudence, teach how to apply those concepts to the practice of law, and instill an understanding about how to function within the massive and complicated domestic and international legal systems.
Part of the responsibility of teaching that third pillar is helping students understand that the legal systems under which they will operate as lawyers are not neutral. They are not the steadfast, colorblind arbiter of right and wrong that feel-good TV dramas would have us believe.
