Legal training and its impact on legal practices

Abstract

This work queries the problematic relationship between legal education and the practice of law. Both components are defining attributes of legal agents and the legal profession itself. Rather than assessing the influence of education on the practice of law, which is more or less evident, the question is which specific aspects of legal education have the greatest weight on legal praxis, and how do they express themselves. Specifically, this enquiry selects a set of variables identified as the conduits that leverage the actual influence of education on how law is practiced. These variables or guiding threads will be analyzed and their leverage
weighted.
