Abstract
An area specialist who took for his province all knowledge about the United States would have much to say about the American law schools. A look at the curricula vitae of first-rank politicians, of relatively non-political officials (among them, of course, the judges), and even of high corporate and foundation people, would convince anyone that, while there is more than one way to influence and power, the law school way is of great importance in our culture. Many of the people who took this way would tell you that studying in law school was the most decisive of their intellectual experiences. What goes on in these schools deeply affects our society as it will be; their current state foretells, though delphically, the future, I am going to write-very briefly indeed, considering the magnitude of the topic-about the uneasiness that now infects the law school enterprise.
