What we should do is break out of the monopoly the ABA has on law education in this country. For a lot of our history, there was a path called “reading the law” - this is the path Lincoln followed. You essentially were an apprentice to a lawyer for a specific number of years, and then you took the bar exam. If you passed, you were a lawyer. Otherwise, you had to try again. Now, you are required to mortgage your life in order to pursue a law degree, limiting the potential pool of applicants, much more than the LSAT.

Are you implying that we have a shortage of lawyers?
