This describes every American law school of which I am aware, where students learn a generalized version of the law through Restatements and study of salient appeals courts decisions, both state and federal. Barring concerted effort, a U.S. law student will not leave school with detailed knowledge of any particular jurisdiction. Then graduates take the bar, where they are more or less quizzed on 18th century English common law, because most states use a bar exam that is not specific to each state’s law.
