These are the dark magic words that bring forth the demons of chaos. Once you incant these words you begin to speak in tongues and you write strange symbols that cloud the mind. You take those numbers, which seem like so many orphans on the street and you move them about finding them homes. You scribble on the board for a bit and then turn about with that whole face, about to chuckle am so pleased, isn't this mountains of fun smile, and want to bang my head on the table till the woman goes away. Still, it is not your fault that the course is so dreadfully horrible. Math is a thing so terrible that it defies description. Poets, who can grasp the terrors of war and death, pain and suffering, have never been able to capture that dark aspect. It is the incarnation of evil, it comes in many forms and guises, and in your class it calls itself Balance Sheet.Anon.1IntroductionOver the years, have received thousands of responses to my midsemester request for anonymous comments about my Corporations class. Although few are so eloquent as the note set out above, no small number share its message. More succinctly, one student put it, If could do math would have gone to medical school. My plaintive correspondents modestly tend to phrase their laments in strictly individual terms, but others do not. Notably, First Lady Michelle Obama has said of her own experience with math and science, I know for me, I'm a lawyer because was at these subjects.2 She then generalized with, All lawyers in the room, you know it's true. We can't add and subtract, so we argue.3This Article begs to differ. As Part discusses, not only is it possible for lawyers to add and subtract, but they even can multiply and divide. As Part II describes, it also is necessary for them to do so, and not just when they are billing their clients and figuring out whether their partners are cheating them. They frequently are called upon to give legal advice that requires the derivation and interpretation of - pardon the expression - numbers. This is particularly, although not uniquely, true in the context of transactional lawyering. Part III discusses the impediments to enhancing numeracy through legal education, and Part IV advances proposals for overcoming those impediments.I. The Question of Capacity: Are Lawyers and Law Students Innumerate?Innumeracy is a fancy word for bad at math. Its converse, numeracy, does not mean at math. It simply is the numbersreferent equivalent of literacy, but more specifically has been defined as includ[ing] an understanding of subjects such as basic numbers, orders of magnitude, algebra, and probability and statistics.4 To either elucidate or complicate matters, innumeracy is sometimes characterized as the result of either an lack of math competence or a lack of math confidence.5A. Objective InnumeracyMichelle Obama is part of a far larger cohort that appears to take the position that lawyers are objectively innumerate (although, to be fair, some of her remarks accompanying those quoted above might be taken as a reflection on subjective innumeracy).6 This position is not without reason: in a recent article, an author suggests that objective numeracy may be produced either by cognitive disability [a condition known as dyscalculia] or by a persistent failure to engage with numbers and calculations.7 She logically goes on to observe, Because of the widespread perception that lawyers are not - and need not be - good at math, it seems likely that dyscalculiae individuals are overrepresented in the law [compared to other professional fields].8 Still, when law students actually were studied, good news emerged. …" @default.
