Could Your Law School Curriculum Do This?

Yale’s business school is experimenting with a new MBA curriculum:

The heart of the new first-year curriculum is a series of eight multidisciplinary courses, called Organizational Perspectives, that are structured around the organizational roles a manager must engage, motivate, and lead in order to solve problems — or make progress. These roles are both internal to the organization — the Innovator, the Operations Engine, the Employee, and Sourcing and Managing Funds (or CFO) — and external to the organization — the Investor, the Customer, the Competitor, and State and Society.

I can’t wait for the first law school to follow suit.  What would the courses be?  The Managing Partner, the Overworked Associate, the Out-of-Touch Professor, the Client Who Can’t Get a Call Returned, etc? 

Add your suggestions in the comments.  And for a slightly more serious take on law school curricula, check out this prior post:  If Blawggers Ran Law Schools.
