Dean John Farmer came up with a nifty idea that he puts forth in today's New York Times (here): have new law grads become apprentices for a couple of years, a la medical school residents. His idea isn't new--others have proposed it as well--but he makes a good case for marrying the need to serve the middle class with the need to provide job training for law grads.
UPDATE: Northwestern Law's Dean Daniel Rodriguez has also come out with a provocative and timely essay (here). Ultimately, a lot of us are going to have to justify legal education in general and particularly in the third year.
