1973年，美国导演JamesBridges以当年的哈佛法学院的实际情况，拍摄了一部名叫“ThePaperChase”的电影，中文翻译为《平步青云》。这部无论导演和演员阵容都并非豪华的电影在后来连续的几十年中，一直都被全美几乎每个法律系的学生视为“第一堂必修课”。
Chase，翻译过来是“追击、追逐”的意思。The Paper Chase，简单直接就道破了法律中追逐缠夹的本性，却不知道为何被按上这么一个无甚相关的中文名字。也许在作者理解中，进入哈佛法学院攻读法律专业，就离光荣与梦想的美式好生活相差无几———眼看着就要平步青云、志得意满了吧。
一个世纪以前，哈佛大学商学院创造性地采用了“实例分析”的授课形式以后，哈佛的法学院在不久以后也如法炮制并名噪一时———很快，全美大学的法学院就纷纷修改了自己的授课模式，把一个又一个的案例分析带进了课堂。
翻开厚厚的课本，你会惊讶地发现里面罗列了各种不同类型的经典案例。至于上课，老师总是手持一份差不多有200多名学生（也就是班上全部学生）的花名册，连名带姓还附照片一张，被点中的学生，则要就指定的案例各自发表意见和看法。课堂的唇枪舌剑，正反互辩的紧张程度与真实的法庭其实已相差无几。在这样的氛围里，学生很快就开始明白，对于绝大多数的案件而言，所谓决定性的优势并不存在，胜或败大半就系于辩护者对案件的分析洞察力以及沟通力之上。
因此，每堂课前的预习，就变得意义非凡，无论是不想在课堂上张口结舌，颜面全无，还是想要在课堂上一鸣惊人，博得喝彩，去图书馆搜罗资料，然后凝心思考、提炼观点都是不得不完成的功课。
于是，法学院学生的校园生活就显得分外忙碌。图书馆是从周一到周四必然要光顾的地方，到了周末，固然可以稍稍放松一下神经，找个消费合理环境舒适的酒吧三五成群地去“喝上一杯”，可是酒过不了一巡，大家便会不自觉地“案件重提”，争论之热烈比起课堂上有过之而无不及。
在每个攻读法律博士的学生心中，唯一不争的事实是，美国有太多的好律师，想要出人头地或者平步青云，一切都须从眼下做起。
