Is Your Law Degree Worth the Paper It’s Printed On?
There is quite a debate right now about the value of a law degree, law school debt, and the difficulty law school graduates experience in trying to find employment. The tight job market has no doubt upped the amplification on this dialogue. I recently came across a relatively new blog called “Inside the Law School Scam” written by a law school professor who describes himself simply as “a tenured mid-career faculty member at a Tier One school. ”
I found the blog posts highly insightful. And the fact that almost 2,000 comments have already been added is a testament to the pent up emotions surrounding these issues: resentments of some, and the lack of sympathy from others, but an obvious point of interest to all.
If you’re one of the thousands of law school graduates who 1) was unable to find a job at a law firm following graduation; 2) has been unable to earn the type of money which lured you into becoming a lawyer; 3) feels there are too many lawyers in proportion to prospective clients; 4) feels law school failed to prepare you for the realities of practice; 5) has found it nearly impossible to repay your law school debt; or 6) is making great money as a lawyer and doesn’t have a bit of sympathy for those who have failed to make the grade, you should visit the blog and weigh in with your comments.
