Abstract

This Article posits that, to guide law students properly in their professional identity, law professors must connect with practice. Connection can consist of a sabbatical or other period of time spent fully immersed in practice or even an ongoing relationship with the local practicing bar or individual lawyers. Further, administrators should encourage these efforts. But all law professors should do something to ensure that their guidance is up to date and that they can provide the information and opportunities required for professional identity formation.
