Law Students: Trapped With Lousy Job Prospects

4/10/2013

The story of all of the unemployed J.D.s is disgruntling and disconcerting. While some former law students sue their schools, and some law schools are retaliating by suing law firms that represent law students that sue law schools, it leaves the current crop of students with no actionable recourse that leaves them looking sane. Take, for example, the apparently disgruntled J.D. who decided to respond to an help wanted ad by IBM for a low level position by red-lining the very ad they placed to recruit red-liners.  (Click on this if you don't do anything else - it's very funny!)

It’s dismaying to know that almost half of all J.D. candidates attending law school in an effort to make good life (and career) choices are side-lined before they’re even out of the gate. No wonder law school applications have dropped to the lowest numbers ever: everyone seems to know at least one law school graduate who is coping with dismal job prospects and a crush of debt from the high cost of tuition. Law schools need to align their promises with that which they can truly deliver. Arizona just set a precedent by reducing their law school tuition rates. We wonder if other schools will soon follow suit.
