Don’t let your babies grow up to be lawyers… the simple fact is people are catching on that lawyers on the whole work more and get paid less then most any other professional with an advanced degree. I have friends with only an undegraduate degree that are earning six figures. They have three more years of earning potential and hundreds of thousands of dollars less in student loans. The law firm model is broken. Insitutional clients no longer will pay $400/hr for a first year associate for document review, nor do they want to pay rates that support marble floored offices in high rent districts. In the next 5-10 years, lawfirms will have to forego offices for cubes or for vitrual offices in toto. Law school is just not worth the investment for the 90% of graduates that don’t work in mega firms (who by the way need to bill close to 3,000 hours to support their high hourly rate). Is this the life you really want?

THE LAW SCHOOL INDUSTRY HAS BEEN PUTTING OUT FAKE, INFLATED JOB AND SALARY STATS FOR YEARS NOW. HOWEVER IN RECENT YEARS, RECENT LAW SCHOOL GRADS HAVE EXPOSED THIS FRAUD. THAT IS WHY APPLICANTS ARE DOWN–THE MARKS ARE GETTING WISE TO THE SCAM

Don’t go into $200K in debt with student loans when there are no jobs! The administrators and faculty have cooked the golden goose with their greed and sloth. Many law professors spend less than 8 hours per week actually on the law school premises. They teach their one or two classes, keep a couple of office hours, then it’s splitsville. Seriously. I’m sure they’d respond that they work real hard from home. Many many hours on their laptops writing their law review articles that nobody reads. “Scholarship” (or, as the law students and practicing attorneys call it, “scholarsh*t). Yes, yes. You must not overextend yourselves you hard-working law professors…we are all depending on your hard, hard labor that you perform from home. Or while on sabbatical to exotic locales. I understand that some of you even blog from time to time. Oh my, so much to do and they only pay you $200,000/year to do it. Good thing those kiddies keep paying you with their student loan money. Oh, wait…the kid’s don’t apply to law school anymore. Uh oh….
