Professional Formation as Social Movement

Could current efforts to reshape legal education and give more emphasis to professional identity formation be harbingers of a developing social movement in higher education? I want to argue that they should be seen that way. Furthermore, I want to suggest that conceptualizing those efforts as a social movement helps to explain why recent workshops on the formation of student professional identity focused on the creation of core groups have generated so much enthusiasm, energy, and commitment from faculty and staff from several dozen law schools.
