Overall, law school needs an overhaul though. It should be more like a trades school, where hard legal skills are learned. Currently, you just touch on actual legal skills tangentially during course work.
The law school profession more or less acknowledges this, but continues to use law school in a gate keeping function. Law school is more about demonstrating your work ethic to potential employers than it is about learning.

I hear what you are saying, but law firms are for teaching the actual legal skills.
Law school is to give you the basics and teach you to think like a lawyer.
