L'enseignement du droit aux Etats-Unis
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/20/business/after-law-school-associates-learn-to-be-lawyers.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=tha25
Law schools know all about the tough conditions that await graduates, and many have added or expanded programs that provide practical training through legal clinics. But almost all the cachet in legal academia goes to professors who produce law review articles, which gobbles up huge amounts of time and tuition money. The essential how-tos of daily practice are a subject that many in the faculty know nothing about — by design. One 2010 study of hiring at top-tier law schools since 2000 found that the median amount of practical experience was one year, and that nearly half of faculty members had never practiced law for a single day. If medical schools took the same approach, they’d be filled with professors who had never set foot in a hospital.
Law schools’ aversion to all things vocational has been much debated, both inside and outside the academy. But critics are fighting both tradition and the legal academy’s peculiar set of neuroses.
And if newcomers in medicine, finance and other fields are trained, in large part, by their employers, why shouldn’t the same be true in law?

Traduction littéraire
Je suis tombé sur un roman traduit par une personne qui, manifestement, connaît mal l’anglais.
« Quelqu’un avait gravé un immense zéro au centre de sa table. [...] Bishop examina l’horrible figure pendant quelques instants, puis s’installa calmement à une autre table. »
« Quelqu’un avait gravé un immense zéro au centre de sa table. [...] Bishop examina l’horrible figure pendant quelques instants, puis s’installa calmement à une autre table. »
Il ne s’agit évidemment pas d’une figure, mais d’un chiffre ! Quelle ignorance insondable ! Le lecteur francophone doit être totalement ahuri, car il n’est pas question d’une personne, ni de quoi que ce soit qui puisse avoir une figure.
