Abstract
The American legal academy has witnessed intense ideological assaults in recent decades, as political conservatives have sought to recast legal education and produce a different kind of legal professional. However, the paths by which conservatives have approached the law schools differ. Some conservative campaigns to remake American legal education have highlighted their ideological agenda, whereas other campaigns have taken steps to keep their ideological goals hidden. This review illustrates both strategies but dedicates special attention to conservative forces that have pursued the latter strategy of ideological concealment.
