Reading the passage

The recommendation depends on statutory training providing a useful educational benefit. What would make that proposal less compelling?

I'd look for evidence that the training adds little—for example, that students who receive it don't become better prepared for practice.

A
Administrators recommending the proposal doesn't show it is a bad idea. Their support is compatible with the author's position.
B
Correct
This takes a different route from a failed-training example: most lawyers acquire the proficiency easily and quickly on the job. If practical experience already supplies the skill with little difficulty, the case for devoting law-school training to it becomes weaker. That doesn't make the skill unimportant; it questions where it needs to be taught.
C
The author has already answered this concern. Graduates can use the interpretive and synthesizing skills in another region even when the particular statutes differ.
D
This describes the case-focused approach the author wants to supplement. It doesn't show that adding statutory training would be unhelpful.
E
A narrow set of statutes can still teach a broadly useful skill. The third paragraph specifically proposes studying a small area and then applying the ability to synthesize elsewhere.
