Fly fishermen study casting theory, insect population and locations, and feeding habits. The sport also requires observation, instruction, a lot of backyard practice, and consideration of environmental ethics. Although I had not read anything about how to deal with that day's fishing challenges, prior reading and simulations provided the analytical foundation for solving the problem and catching a 15-inch trout. On a larger scale, law school provides a solid theoretical base and develops students' ethical awareness and analytical skills through reading, instruction, simulation and guided clinical legal practice. The practitioner then can effectively and ethically solve the frequent non-textbook situations that appear in a legal practice and other facets of life.
Law is like fly fishing.
You cast perfectly in the backyard, but each stream is different and each day on the stream is different. Improving his fly fishing stroke.
