Business school candidates often are required to demonstrate a work history as a part of their admission process. According to some schools, a work history demonstrates potential career success. For others, a work history ensures that incoming students have a context for interpreting classroom material and an ability to contribute to class discussions. For most, a candidate’s work history demonstrates his or her leadership potential.
Law schools, however, do not. Law schools value demonstrated and potential cognitive abilities in their students. Law schools value cognitive ability because the “job” of a law school student is to process information. Law school students read, write and occasionally regurgitate. Law school students are valued on their ability to compete with others in a stressful environment with tight deadlines, too much work and not much team work.
