Law school is a school of method

The article rejects the idea that legal studies are only an exercise in memorisation. It presents the first years of law school as a chance to build method: reading, issue spotting, writing, argument structure and disciplined revision.

AI, English, internships and basic professional habits are treated as early advantages, not distant career extras. The source encourages students to connect academic learning with real documents, legal language and the expectations of practice.
