Reel Law

"We do brain surgery here. You teach yourselves the law, but I train your mind. You come in here with a skull full of mush and you leave thinking like a lawyer."

- Professor Charles W. Kingsfield Jr. (John Houseman, right) explains the Socratic method to 1Ls at Harvard Law School in The Paper Chase (1973).
