Identity In Law Classes

There is an interesting thing about law school, you read all these cases about all these topic and some of the time, they relate to things that affect your real life, but the reality, the humanity of it seems to get lost in the academia. There is something to be said about trying to look at topics "intellectually" but when you're reading about cases about why to punish and you are required to read about how you're so 'deviant', 'immoral', etc. It is alienating to not acknowledge that these aren't arbitrary rules that affect some unknown other but philosophies and laws that affect real people.
