My across-the-street neighbor told me she’s looking at going to St Mary’s University Law School (my alma mater). When I graduated, tuition was an ungodly $406/hr. She called - it’s now $960/hr. Stuned my beiber, I’ll tell ya - especially considering what it’s turned into: a mill for “social justice” types who have trouble passing the bar exam because they’re not being required to take the courses that are ON THE BAR EXAM.

Ridiculous.

Law schools up here (MA) are cranking out JDs faster than the job market can handle. Now we have a situation where people incur massive debt to obtain a JD and can't even get a job in the legal field. AND I heard a cat on the train this morning, who was a paralegal, saying that the paralegals earned more than the newly-minted JDs anyway.

Then again, I guess fewer jobs for lawyers is a good thing for society.

When I went to grad school the tuition was ~ $50/hr - paid by my employer.
