This is good news.
He gets it right toward the end. It isn’t just law school. The entire academic industry is non-sustainable with its current model.
Please, oh please let this mean there will be fewer lawyer programs on TV. Enough already.
What do you call 1,000 dead lawyers at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean?
Best bet is to have Daddy or Mommy as a lawyer and use their contacts to find work and KEEP it.

Well, like the old saying goes, Those who can, do, and those who can’t, teach.

A good start?
The author acts as if they had some other options. Most of the kids in liberal arts and humanities couldn't pass a Calculus course or Comp Sci 101 if their lives depended on it. Their only other option is "government service." Those jobs don't have especially rosy prospects going forward, either.

Seriously, the reason law school attendance is plummeting is because the liberal arts majors who used to go to law school are getting dumber by the semester and cannot pass the bar.
Pretty soon Starbucks will be offering legal advice.
The country improves ...
Lawyers/attorneys have uses and they are tools we use in business, especially when dealing in my industry. Not all are scumbag liberals.
On the other hand, I was just reading my Filipino bud’s weekly newspaper and every page had an immigration attorney pimping their firm.
I couldn’t think of a good answer, because I assumed they were poached and their fins were taken for soup.
You won’t be laughing when as a result of this shortage the state legislatures and Congress find themselves unable to pass thousands of new laws each year for you like they are doing now!
I was a uni at the height on law school enrollment during the early 80’s. EVERYONE wanted to be a lawyer. So much so.....the uni build a new law school with all of the $$$$ pouring in. The market was saturated. “Paper Chase” really inspired many.

I dated a LS student at the time. Most of them had aspirations in politics. Only good thing to come out of that relationship was 3rd row seats to see THE ““Ronaldus Magnus” speak and I was in awe. ;-) Law students had the prime seats, of course.
Yeah. It was in the tag line. I’m having a very hard time seeing a down side to having fewer lawyers.
