This has been a problem since the year I graduated (2009), I believe that is the year it really became a noticeable problem, and it seems that it has continued to worsen.  There is certainly a problem with the cost of the education vs. realistic earnings expectations.  However, I would not recommend law school to anyone who was primarily interested in making money.  It was something I did because I thought it was something I would enjoy doing the rest of my life.  So far, I think I made the right call - I do enjoy it.

Thanks for sharing the article.  I didn't realize how much worse it had gotten.  I fear some of the changes they are forced to make will have a negative impact on the profession.

Best,
Robert A. Franco, J.D., LL.M.
