      abstract = {In 1983 Harvard law professor Duncan Kennedy  self-published a biting critique of the law school system  called Legal Education and the Reproduction of Hierarchy.  This controversial booklet was reviewed in several major  law journals-unprecedented for a self-published work-and  influenced a generation of law students and teachers. In  this well-known critique, Duncan Kennedy argues that legal  education reinforces class, race, and gender inequality in  our society. However, Kennedy proposes a radical  egalitarian alternative vision of what legal education  should become, and a strategy, starting from the anarchist  idea of workplace organizing, for struggle in that  direction. Legal Education and the Reproduction of  Hierarchy is comprehensive, covering everything about law  school from the first day to moot court to job placement to  life after law school. Kennedy's book remains one of the  most cited works on American legal education.The visually  striking original text is reprinted here, making it  available to a new generation. The text is buttressed by  commentaries by five prominent legal scholars who consider  its meaning for today, as well as by an introduction and  afterword by the author that describes the context in which  Kennedy wrote the book, including a brief history of  critical legal studies.},
