The law school celebrates 50 years of education this year and the Dean is due to give a talk on the future of legal education. His talks are good and I would recommend them to anyone. But it's just a talk. If I were the Dean of my law school, I would implement the following:

• Reduce the entire law degree to 2 years.
  
• Reduce compulsory subjects to contract law, tort law, property law, equity and trusts, and legal writing and analysis, all taught in the first year.
  
• Empower students with the choice to specialise immediately after the first year. They will have a choice of
  
• litigation based subjects, like evidence, criminal law
• corporate based subjects, like international corporate finance.
• Airy fairy subjects, like something in vietnam, theory of the theory of law, etc.
  
• Scrap the whole idea of continuous assessment.
  
• Revamp exams. Out of all the subjects taken in two years, students shall have the option to pick three to be examined on, or pick two, and do one research paper.
  
• Issue 50% of the cohort with first class honours upon graduation.
  
• Charge four years worth of school fees for two years.
