It was during this period that many new law schools were established, for the same purpose.
We have one school here in north Jersey that is circling the drain after a Vietnam-era expansion; it sold one of its campuses, and years ago when I was looking at schools the only people I know who attended were those who couldn’t get into state schools. They’d go there for a year or two, then transfer into a state school at that point.
Seems many of these are just jobs programs for ghetto folk now; education isn’t even in the picture.
