The impact of the law permeates our culture. From recognition and preservation of fundamental human rights to the speed we drive going to and from work each day; from the infrastructure of our system of commerce and financial services to the price we pay for a cheeseburger at Burger King (the ongoing Burger King franchise dispute over the dollar menu is fascinating); from the abortion rights dialogue to the parameters governing the conditions at our children’s day care facilities and schools.
No one would dispute the relevance of the practice of law to the creation and protection of these parameters that have such a major impact on our daily lives. I wonder, though, what would happen if we started looking at the practice of law as an industry; as a package of services for which there is demand in the marketplace? What if we started to teach the business of law in addition to legal precedent? What if law schools became the building blocks of the legal services ecosystem?
