This is a plenary presentation being given at the IJCLE Conference at Northumbria Law School.  Keynote slides at the usual place.  It focuses on the place of Francis Hutcheson in an alternative tradition to that of the liberal law school, calling on Dewey and others; and is a version of a chapter I've written for Julian Webb's edited collection on legal education, to be published later this year.  Comments welcome from those present who heard it, and anyone else!
