A survey finds that many don’t. Story here.

I have been hearing this from lawyers I know for years. An old friend of mine, a partner in a big law firm, says that if he could, he’d rather hire 18-year-olds who’ve been accepted into top universities and have them learn legal research, writing, and all the other things a good attorney needs to know from scratch. Next best would be to hire them after they’ve completed their undergrad degrees. Law school mainly delays aspiring lawyers from developing all the skills and knowledge they need.
