Schools for Misrule by Walter K. Olson Book PDF Summary
Some imagine that the law schools possess a finer, purer moral sensitivity than the everyday America outside their walls. ("Welcome to the Republic of Conscience!" Yale Law dean Harold Koh announced to incoming students.) But as this book shows the pipe dream of training philosopher-monarchs not only leads to one policy disaster after another, but distracts law schools from the most useful function they can serve: training competent, ethical and suitably humble lawyers for tomorrow. --Book Jacket.
