I’M a law dean, and I’m proud. And I think it’s time to stop the nonsense. After two years of almost relentless attacks on law schools, a bit of perspective would be nice



Not much meat on the bones of this self-serving op-ed. The argument seems to be - sure law grads are doing poorly but over the next 40-50 years they will do great. Based on what analysis or evidence?

I’ll make a deal with Mr. Dean - I pay nothing now and if I can in fact get a job in law over the next 40-50 years I’ll pay you back with interest. How interested will Mr. Dean be in that offer? Not very. His view is: I’ll take my 160 percent increase now thanks!
