What are the key qualifications for tomorrow's attorney? And how do we have to structure legal education to teach the so-determined qualifications? The answers to both questions seem difficult, if not impossible, since they require a prediction of how the legal market will develop. However, as with most difficult questions, the answers prove to be easier than expected: In this case, they may be embodied in two poems by the German poet Erich Kästner (1899-1974) which are quite meaningful, not only in our regard. The first poem reads:
Wissen ist Macht,
wie schief gedacht,
Wissen ist wenig,
Können ist König.
