Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The Rising Tide of CriticismIn recent years, a growing chorus of law school critics has argued that legal education is not preparing law students to practice law.Cameron Stracher, a New York Law School professor, puts the general problem this way:There appears to be an emerging consensus that although law schools may teach students how to 'think like a lawyer,' they don't really teach them how to be a lawyer. . . .In addition to misleading students, the current system [of legal education] harms clients who often assume that their lawyers have more experience than they do. 1 This emerging consensus found clear expression in a January 2007 report by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching (the "Carnegie Report").2 Visits to sixteen law schools in the United States and Canada revealed that:

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
