Hello my name is Joseph Ruben Gerken and I really enjoyed the video

Dean Gerkin is putting the cart before the horse. The mission of Yale Law School, as of any law school, should be to train great lawyers, many of whom may use their talents and training to become great leaders. But if one frames the mission as training leaders, the school will lose sight of what the mission really is, fail to fulfill it, and end up producing a stream of graduates whose primary characteristic is a sense of entitlement. And her comments about how the most financially pressed students feel about expenses mask the cause of the problem for most students, which is the crazy, bloated cost of legal education. In the mid-1970s, tuition was in the range of $3,000 a year. I was from what I would call a middle-class family, and I had to be careful about things like buying used textbooks when possible, not photocopying long documents at a dime a page, and taking a bus to & from home rather than flying.
