in some countries they divide up the lawyers work so much that you need three people to do the work of one person.

(by the folks there are more first year seats than there are law school applicants. AND one in four people in DC is a lawyer)

Have you ever tried to convince a university to close their highly profitable law school?

There are currently plans to open NEW law schools.

There are no plans to close ANY law school.

Did Obama ever actually practice law?

From this: Barry never practiced law per se, He did some research for a Chicago firm. Taught at Chicago U. But he never passed the certification board for trial attorneys, to do either civil or criminal trial work. Not one day. As far as anyone can ever recall. He never stood in a court room to defend a client of any kind, at anyitme, anywhere.

I also heard he practiced civil rights law, whatever that is, for a few months before he was effectively run off by the Chicago law firm who hired him.

In other words, his legal career was just as distinguished as other notable Rat-lawyer-pols such as Bobby Kennedy, Jon-Jon Kennedy, Teddy Kennedy, Bubba Clinton, Hillary Clinton, etc.

I wonder if the Divorce Lawyer industry is suffering yet.
