Do We Really Need More Law Schools?
Plans for three new law schools in New York were recently announced. There are additional law schools being started around the country. The National Law Journal has an article on the “deluge of law schools” today. For the article, click here. More law schools - is that necessary? There are so many law schools producing lawyers, but not enough jobs to go around.
Many students think that a law degree will lead them to a $160K job in BigLaw. So they attend law school. Unfortunately, graduates of lower tier law schools have an incredibly hard time securing legal employment after graduation. Some of these newly-minted lawyers have crushing law school debts and no chance of the $160K job (or, in some cases, a job at all!) Graduates of non-accredited law schools are really behind the eight ball upon graduation.
If you go to a law school outside of the top 20, make sure that you graduate in the top 10% - otherwise you will have a very difficult time trying to recoup your law school investment.
