Warning, minor rant ahead:

Marianne Richmond and I spent Monday morning pitching a LexThink-ish conference for social workers to a local university.  Don’t know if it will happen or not, but there was one thing the person we met with said that keeps rolling around in my mind: 

“We are in year three (of four) of developing our ten-year plan.”

What if you started in 2003 planning your “Ten Year Internet Strategy” for the years 2007–2017.  How much of the work you did in 2003 (or 2004) would still be relevant today?   And does this mean that students today are learning what “the plan” developed eight or nine years ago thought they should?  I’m afraid I know the answer.  And do I think law schools are any different?  No.
