an expert in hand surgery without knowing much about the rest of the human body, so also one can become expert in various segments of the law without knowing much about the rest. we should call the former a hand surgeon rather than a doctor; and the latter a real-estate conveyancer, or h&r block, but not a lawyer. those of you who have walked the streets of paris may have noticed signs here and there. jurisconsult. not avocats, lawyers. i am not even sure whether one must pass an exam or have any special training to work in such hang out a sign. i suspect not. none of you who are being graduated today is being certified an expert in patent or employment law. you are instead receiving degrees that attest to your successful completion of a sustained three-year study of law. the mastery of that subject is what turns the student into a legal professional. this is the traditional view, well expressed by an earlier, and wiser, aba panel in 1921. and i quote legal education , sh
