[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's standard in the field -- not sure why you don't understand this. The biggest context for bios is website copy written for clients. Clients want to see where the lawyers went to law school. Legal culture in general follows -- bios for CLE presenters, etc.

Doctors and dentists do this as well -- people look at that info when choosing a provider.

That you "find it embarrassing" is definitely about you, and not about the phenomenon. [/quote]

Just because it is standard doesn’t make it any less dumb.

[b]I really have no idea where my dentist went to school. Or my doctors. [/b][/quote]

Not wise to be uninformed as many physicians attended foreign med schools with much lower standards than US medical schools. And, yes, I understand that they all must pass the same licensing exam, but licensing exams are designed to test for basic competency--nothing more.[/quote]

Basic competency is more important then having memorized lists of molecule names that will never matter. [/quote]
