Should the bar change to reflect a push to have law students respond to questions about practicing law and not just theory? There is a longstanding debate on how law schools teach/prepare lawyers. Firms are now spending more time training first year associates on the pragmatics of practicing law than before.
The Bar has complained. So who will adjust? The schools will respond to meet the gap, but let's say the Bar wants change fast, they could effectively adjust the test to reflect the new focus.....
I agree with this a hundred percent! Bar has MPRE exam to teach the law students what the standard is. I have been solving MPRE Practice Questions and preparing for the bar, and I think that the bar should be more focused on preparing understanding, along with capable minds.
