LALS #001 - Unforeseen Consequences

The episode discusses some of the stress points in the Cravath Method as it is applied by the spectrum of firms today.  The main issues for discussion are the Cravath Method's lack of scalability and the paradigm shift that has occurred in legal education since it was created in 1900.

Inspired by Professor William Henderson's post "How the Cravath System Created the Bi-Modal Distribution" on the Empirical Legal Studies Blog.
