<p>The general theme isn’t news to anyone who has been paying attention. (But I question some of the assumptions and methodologies. In California a quarter of the ABA school graduates don’t pass the bar exam on their first try, so they aren’t really “lawyers” yet 9 months after graduation.) I don’t have a problem, with the dismal job outlook so much as the grand theft tuition charges for attending the school which provides little economic benefit to the students. We need lawyers and we need law schools; we can either have a “hard to get in with virtually guaranteed employment” model like medical school, or we can have an “easy to get it but fight for a job” model such as exists in law school now, but the second model shouldn’t have the same price tag as the first - particularly when the actual cost of the educational process is so much lower.</p>
