What The Firm S1 - Ep.03 - Okay but why: "Struggle through it"

Okay, but why:  “Struggle through it” : This is the first in a series entitled: “okay, but why?” where I will address common practices in the legal field and question their validity.  Join me today as we tackle our first listener email (YAY!): assignments given without structure or guidance, and how this might stem from the Socratic method used in law schools.  I give my take on it, what could be improved in law schools and how to deal with a brand new assignment that you’re not familiar with.
