“Why Not to Go to Law School?”

An honest person could not! High priced instruction in lying and distorting the truth is not a career most would choose. Unfortunately we have way too many willing to become these ethically deficient scum.

Too bad we do not have the lawyer to population ratio of Japan. Lawyers in the United States (281 per 100000 population) in Japan (11 per 100000)

If law is the love of your life. If it is what you have dreamed of since childhood...and if you can get into one of the top schools.

Then by all means, go for it.

Otherwise, go elsewhere.

ANYBODY with a four year degree can go to lawschool.

I do mean ANYBODY.

There are more first year seats than there are students. There is a MASSIVE overcapacity of law schools. they are cash cows because government loans guarantee profit. There are no jobs and you have graduates with no connections competing with older lawyers with modest connections for what was once starting positions in law firms and government prosecutor and public defender offices.

(as a bonus, in the federal arena only DOJ lawyers become judges nowadays.)
