Reforming Swedish law schools?

The Berkman Center of Internet and Society is an interesting institution connected with the Harvard Law School. They offer what is called a "clinical" education in cyberlaw. This means that they allow students to actually handle and work with real cases: they challenge patents, give advice to companies and help organizations in developing advocacy positions. The education is headed by five senior attorneys that help to secure the quality of the advice given, as well as work as advisors to the students.

This is of course a perfect way to introduce students to trial work as well as cyberlaw issues. Why don't we do this in Sweden?

(The center also has a number of interesting research projects.More about the later.)
