Giving students a legal education involves teaching them how our judges and legislators work within a system. Knowing how judges think and decide cases and how legislators cooperate to create laws will equip students to participate productively in the political and legal process. Law is seen as a discipline in which either you are an expert because you went to law school or completely ignorant because you didn’t. Of course, children and young adults learn what rules they have to obey—and they figure out which laws to protest. Yet, this is not the type of legal education that will create engaged citizens. Students should learn how the legal process works and the skills of legal reasoning, just as they learn other comprehension and reasoning skills in school.
