But here is the problem.
Most law schools have classes in the first year that concentrate mostly on case law analysis.
Through a legal writing class and Moot court problems, a statutory or even a legislative history dimension might be added to the mix. Few schools have required research courses after the first year. IMHO, law students are not ready to learn the regulatory stuff in the first year. They won't remember it because they don't need to know or remember it. So there is a timing question that is really difficult.
