Dean Langdell is Dead: The Crisis and Transformation of American Law

by J D Thomas Mengert

The book‭ ‬Dean Langdell is Dead‭ ‬by Thomas Mengert critiques the American legal system‭, ‬focusing on the historical development of legal education and practice‭, ‬the current state of the legal profession‭, ‬and its implications for American society‭.‬

The author argues that the legal system is fundamentally flawed‭, ‬rooted in an outdated feudal model and failing to adapt to a rapidly changing globalized world‭. ‬Mengert emphasizes the growing gap between the complexities of the law and the public's understanding‭, ‬as well as the increasing costs of legal services‭. ‬He proposes radical reforms to legal education and practice‭,‬‭ ‬aiming for a more efficient and equitable legal system that better serves the needs of the American people‭.‬
