The law already exists and it is your lot in life to learn it, to know it. Learning law begins to sound like memorization. One might imagine a course of reading that places the learner back in the scene, and assumes that you, the learner, are an active part of the studies that will make you a professional. When you make yourself a subject of study you engage in reflection and introspection. We might begin by looking at these words introspection and reflection.
Reflection means the act of directing ones thoughts back upon oneself.
It is important to develop a sense of who you are as a person even as you struggle to become a lawyer and take on a Legal Mind. While these skilled feats of mind are expected of a law student and form the basis of a professional identity and a competent professional, they may, ultimately be inadequate. Being a student, a law student, engages more of who we are as persons than we would like to admit. The way a person expects to live out the lawyer story affects the way law is learned and lawyering will be practiced. Your values and beliefs, and the conflicts they create as you try to live them out, constitute a story that deserves attention.
