MacCrate report hot issue at ABA legal education meeting
Article Abstract:
The A.B.A. Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar will consider the adoption of the MacCrate Report at the association's 1993 annual meeting. This is the report of the Task Force on Law Schools and the Profession, which recommends that practicing lawyers and law schools cooperate more closely in improving lawyering skills. The recommendation to adopt the report immediately comes from the Illinois Bar Assn, while some of the other factions favor more discussion.

Professor tells his colleagues: get your heads out of academe!
Article Abstract:
New York Law School's Dean Harry H. Wellington stated in the 1993 Charles Evans Hughes Memorial Lecture that the cultures and disciplines of the law firm and the law school have become too separate. He stated that too many law professors look down on practicing lawyers and that they should remember that most of their students will become practicing lawyers and need to learn more of what practice is really like and less legal philosophy.
