⚖️ CONCUR OR OBJECT?
🎓 Should the Third Year of Law School Be Replaced With a Practicum?
Robson Powers, ESQ,., believes students develop practical skills by working and interning at law firms, learning from judges, and gaining experience under seasoned attorneys.
Kara Rogers, ESQ., proposes a different approach: What if law school graduates completed a one- or two-year legal residency under the supervision of an experienced attorney before fully entering practice.
Similar to medical residencies, this could give new lawyers structured, hands-on experience while developing their legal judgment, confidence, and practical skills.
⚖️ TWO IDEAS. ONE GOAL.
Prepare better-equipped attorneys who are ready to serve their clients.

Would this approach produce practice-ready attorneys—or is the traditional third year essential?
