Abstract
In this article the authors explain what it means to train lawyers for intellectual versatility. The authors then describe, and attempt to explain, the resistance this kind of training can engender. Next, they draw on post-realist legal thought to explain why training for intellectual versatility is necessary to capable and responsible legal practice. The authors conclude with suggestions about how continued engagement with the work of Carol Gilligan can deepen their analysis of why training for intellectual versatility is resisted, and why it is nonetheless profoundly important.
