Abstract
This paper was delivered as the Randall Park Lecture at the University of Kentucky College of Law. It addresses the consequences of nearly two decades of lawyer mobility and law firm destablization and the effects of these trends on the professional development of inexperienced lawyers. It also offers thoughts on how lawyer mobility is, or at least should be, bringing into sharper focus the professional education mission of law schools.
