Do law schools inculcate a lack of diligence?

At ILEC-V, Annalise Acorn (Alberta) and her student Jason Buttuls offered a convincing argument that law schools can inculcuate procrastination in law students. The focus was Canadian but the evidence applied to US schools as well, in my view. They argued that the mantra of "you'll learn what you need to know once you're in practice," the 14 weeks of cruising before the big exam, the prevalence of multi-tasking and even goofing off online in class, and other common features of law school ill serve the students as they forge their professional identities. (As we know, the most common complaint about lawyers is a lack of diligence and promptness and the life of a successful lawyer almost always requires the successful jugging of lots of tight deadlines in settings that require team work with other lawyers.) I can't yet link to the paper, but once it comes out in the journal Legal Ethics I will try to post it.
