Failing law schools

摘要

The usual practice of The Journal of Legal Medicine is to not go out of our way to review a book we do not think would be of interest to our readers. There are more good books published than any of us can read and we see no benefit of wasting our readers' time with those we cannot endorse. However, Failing Law Schools, by Brian Tamanaha, the William Gardiner Hammond Professor of Law at Washington University School of Law, is not just a book. It is a book which represents what has become a movement to blame the legal education system for the loss of legal jobs due to the crash of the United States.
