Summary
The Harvard law professor Thomas Reid Powell is credited with saying: “If you can think about something that is related to something else without thinking about the thing to which it is related, then you have a legal mind.” Once our amusement caused by this sarcastic comment fades, we should realize that Powell is referring here to something more than a stereotypical picture of a boring, abstraction-loving lawyer.
