I think Professor Maranville also raises an excellent point about “new” as the sexy term coming out of Best Practices. In some ways, schools which did nothing innovative for years appear to be “ahead of the crowd” by announcing as “new” programs and courses already institutionalized at schools with longstanding commitments to preparing students to be competent client centered lawyers. I think the challenge for schools which have marched for some time on the continuum of Best Practice theory and models is: 1) to breathe fresh energy into rooted programs and 2 ) to update the branches and leaves in language and tools more suited to this generation of law students.
