Law schools teach with the “case method,” in which students learn legal principles by reading judicial decisions seminal to the development of the common law.

Ms. McFeely, 26, is a research associate at Harvard Business School, where she works on the Case Method Project, which brings case method teaching to high school history classrooms in Boston.

The case method offers historical distance—a safe way to practice political conversation without politicising the classroom.

He acknowledges, however, that the case method is not a good fit for everyone's learning style and that lectures may be a better way to learn about abstract concepts.

If you choose a business school that relies heavily on the case method, you'll likely learn from others' successes and mistakes about growing too quickly.
