And the funny thing is, they're never new (not the swans either). The W&L program looks like a hybrid of the recently announced "new" Harvard and Stanford Law School curricula, though Harvard's was for first year students - perhaps illustrating the difference between Harvard and W&L students, and Stanford's was for both second and third years, and again, there wasn't anything in either of these programs that dozens of law schools hadn't been doing for years. I wouldn't be surprised to see MSM run with a story like this, what do they know about law schools, but I'm a little surprised to see a legal newspaper fall for it. What's experience for if it doesn't help separate news from spin. Law schools announce “new”curricula with about the same regularity and frequency as swans coming back to Capistrano.

But what type of practical business skills will they be teaching? That is a big questions. I would have to say it is a start. But what type of practical business skills will they be teaching?
