EDITORIAL
What do law students foresee?
DO LAW STUDENTS WANT TO PRACTISE LAW? If you do, what do you
suppose that looks like? For some of you, it will be human rights and work that
is based on access to justice. May there be more of you. Some of you would like
to serve the business community. So what does that look like? For now, it is a
combination of fine in-house legal departments and law firms. Many of them are
the same size as one another.
Some of you will likely obtain your first career jobs in "alternative legal ca-
reers." Someday, we will drop the word "alternative." In those positions, you are
likely to see the symbiosis that exists among professionals offering at the very
least accounting, financial, engineering and legal services. Indeed, some of you
may have undertaken interdisciplinary education.
Going forward, there are likely to be fewer walls between these professions.
is is not the first time in history this has happened, by the way. Arguably, law
evolved from that once highly practical discipline of Philosophy. What will the
next iteration of the legal profession be? We leave it to today's law students to tell
the rest of us.
