Colleagues:  I want to thank all of you for your comments.  Yes - it is
interesting that this subject still comes up.  It shouldn't.  After all,  I
just attended a global economics conference here in L.A. and it was very
clear at the conference that the American legal system and its attitude
towards enforcement is one of the key reasons capital flocks to the U.S.
and why other parts of the world are have economic problems.  In addition,
I believe we're not just teaching law - we're teaching critical thinking
and analysis, presentation and writing skills.  Last time I "looked" - this
is exactly what employers were saying they wanted MBA grads to have - and
found in short supply!!!!  Regards,  Linnea
