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.\u003cbr\u003e 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. \u003cb\u003eLegal Education and the Reproduction of Hierarchy\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKennedy, Duncan:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eDuncan Kennedy\u003c\/b\u003e is Carter Professor of General Jurisprudence at Harvard University School of Law.
