The law is a profession of competence, not merely of knowledge.
Unlike many fields of study whose training outcomes can be measured primarily by the amount of knowledge absorbed, the legal profession demands the simultaneous combination of many different layers of competence.
A legal practitioner must not only understand legal provisions, they must also be able to analyze facts, identify risks, conduct legal research, construct arguments, draft documents, negotiate, communicate with clients, and offer solutions in situations that often have no absolutely right or wrong answer.
In particular, law is a profession of responsibility.
An error in legal advice, an inadequately drafted contract clause, or an inaccurate legal assessment can all lead to significant financial losses or harm the legitimate interests of others.
For this reason, in many countries, legal education has always been regarded as a process of forming professional competence rather than merely a process of transmitting knowledge.
Law students not only study the law but are also trained to think like legal practitioners.
Meanwhile, the reality of training in Vietnam remains significantly influenced by the traditional approach in which the transmission of legal knowledge is often placed at the center.
As a result, many students can grasp the rules but struggle to apply them to a specific real-world situation.
The gap between knowing the law and practicing law is precisely the greatest gap that the current training system needs to close.
