In My Students Can’t Read, Tyler Jagt, a teacher of literature and creative writing at several universities writes movingly in The Chronicle of Higher Education about his experiences with students who simply cannot handle the same level of reading assignments that his students managed easily just a few years ago. https://www.chronicle.com/article/my-students-cant-read. Those students are headed our way, and Mr. Jagt is no doubt correct that universities and law schools have a obligation to tackle this problem head on. My favorite quote came from Theresa MacPhail, associate professor of science and technology studies at Stevens Institute of Technology who described following the mantra of “meet your students where they are” for so long that she has begun to feel “like a cruise director organizing games of shuffleboard.” Of course, as Mr. Jagt observes, smartphones and AI are part of the problem. But whatever the source, we need a plan. Lawyers who read poorly are a danger to society.
