Abstract
Today’s legal educators aim at a moving target. Education invariably prepares students for a future that is different from the present. But fundamental change in the legal profession today occurs at an unusually rapid pace.
Dynamism within the legal landscape is notable in itself. Law is traditionally conceived of as a slow moving, incremental, and conservative profession. Regulation, such as the regulatory structure that superintends legal services, typically attenuates the rate of industry change. Yet the characterization of a stable, slow moving professional business models is no longer accurate within law. Instead, this is a period in which creation and destruction occur at a brisk clip.
