Why? Why not have students argue a motion to dismiss or a summary judgment motion, something more likely to be seen by a larger number of students in their early years of practice?" Similarly, " Upper-level classes can also incorporate experiential learning." He remarks, "The ideal, as the Carnegie report urges, is for students to have some experiential learning in each of their three years." He asks, " Most first-year legal writing classes conclude with an appellate brief and argument. For example, my goal is that at the new University of California, Irvine School of Law, every student will participate in a law school clinic or have the equivalent experience, such as through a carefully selected externship." Also, in clinics, "t here is an opportunity for training about professionalism that comes when students have their own clients whom they must represent." He argues: "I believe that it is long overdue for law schools to do more to emphasize experiential education. In contrast, " Most law students have limited exposure to the practice of law during law school."
He thinks, " The most important change that is needed in law school is to ensure that every student has a clinical experience or the equivalent." He adds: " Meaningful reform requires that law schools do far more to emulate the way medical schools train doctors" with their emphasis on clinical education. Legal education has changed remarkably little in over a century." Erwin Chemerinsky, founding dean of University of California, Irvine School of Law, argues that " Law schools can do a much better job of training lawyers" in Rethinking Legal Education.
