Fundamental restructuring. I didn’t invent this- it’s a thing. Tom is absolutely correct- the difficulty in getting jobs in government, non-profits, etc. without legal experience (which means a job at a law firm) cannot be overstated. That’s what a restructuring of an industry means-the old patterns (get a job in a medium sized city at a medium sized law firm with an “at the median” GPA from an OK law school and have a good life) get broken and reconstituted into something else.

There really are law graduates earning 45K per year- NOT because they serve the indigent at a prestigious but not lucrative firm; but because they are eking out a living doing doc review. Heck, Public Defenders make more than that and they get health care, retirement, and paid vacation time!
