ABSTRACT

Legal education is leadership education. In part-but only in part-this is attributable to the recruits; successful applicants to law schools are among the intellectual elite of their college generation. But medical school applicants, too, are intellectually gifted. And intellect alone is hardly sufficient to assure the qualities of leadership. Among the many qualities important to sound leadership are courage, tenacity, knowledge, and intelligence. But central to sound leadership-and too often lacking-are judgment and wisdom.
