Law school graduates are lawyers in name only. Ask a newly-anointed juris doctorate recipient to represent you in court, and you're asking to get your ass whupped. Worse still, tucked away in their donated ivory towers, most legal academians haven't the slightest clue what havoc they wreak. It produces legal scholars, not attorneys. This, of course, is poppycock.
Law school is a professional school.
To the extent that term means anything, the goal then should be to produce people who are capable, in a professional manner, of guiding the average schmo through the arcane world of writs, motions, and petitions. But, almost as if we've been transported to the parallel universe of Bizarro, what we have instead are generations upon generations of clueless attorneys who couldn't tell the difference between a writ, motion, or petition, let alone how to draft or file one. At least medical school teaches where the body parts are. If I sound angry, well, I am. This is no less than two-faced hypocrisy.
