Railing Against Law Schools - How much bashing is justified?
By A.S. Pradhan


The continuing downturn in the economy has affected even recent law graduates. This has increased the web traffic of anti-law school blogs as they have increased their campaign against law schools. Most of them are written by individuals who went to law schools and then got jobs in good law firms but burned out. Of course they won’t admit that.

But why else who someone making a good salary, including some who made over six figures drop everything and turn to writing blogs. According to these anti-scam blogs, it’s a big mistake to go into law schools because:

(1)There are 192 ABA accredited law schools out of which there are only 14 that are considered top notch. So the students from the remaining law schools can forget about ever getting into a top law firm. Are they saying that all the other lawyers are miserable at their work and are not successful?

(2)Not all lawyers can make over 100K straight out of law school. Even if they make 50K, that is still among the highest starting salaries among all occupations.

(3)Legal jobs are being outsourced. Outsourcing is happening in all white-collar professions. People are still studying computer engineering and it is still one of the highest paying occupations.

(4)There’s a recession in the industry right now. There’s a recession everywhere and all industries go through boom-bust cycles. If you want security, get into the civil service.

If these lawyers hated Biglaw so much why not work as a government lawyer? Of course, it’s their right to complain and criticism is always good since it does bring in some accountability. But why don’t these critics put their time and energy to a better use and get together with other disgruntled lawyers and start a law firm with low cost services? The country certainly needs something along those lines.

- What is your basis for saying that most anit-law school bloggers are biglaw burnouts? This doesn't seem correct to me.

- Yes, there are over 192 ABA accredited law schools. Yes, by some people, only a handful are considered top notch. Yes, students at the remaining law schools will have an extremely challenging time ever gettinginto a top law firm. In fact, even students at the top schools will have a challenging time getting into a top law firm. No, they are not saying that all (other) lawyers are misertable at their work. However, they are dispelling the myth that graduating law school guarantees you a job and/or a biglaw job. It doesn't. And you may find yourself in 150k+ debt.

- Yes, not all lawyers can make 100k straight out of law school. However, your statement that even if they make 50k, that is still good does not relate to anything. Many lawyers are completely without work. Also, even if you were to make 50k, you are failing to take into account that a "starting" lawyer has invested 3 years of his or her life and 150k+ on law school. If you take into account law school debt and the lost opportunity costs associated with law school, that "even 50k" doesn't look so attractive.

- I personally don't find the outsourcing point all that persuasive. So far, outsourcing is mostly document review, etc. People don't go to law school to do doc review. So, I agree to some extent with you on that point.

- The statement that there is a recession everywhere is not helpful. Again, law school in many cases requires incurring a massive amount of debt. These anti-law school blogs are mostly focused on making sure people understand that you have to take crippling debt into account in making your decision to go to law school. Also, the statement that all industries go through boom-bust cycles is trivializing what is actually happening.

Obtaining (federal) government work is not so easy. To the extent you are referring to state government, then in many cases, they will be making less than 50k.

It is really tough out there. You should think long and hard before going to law school and potentially incurring all of that debt. Sure, law school is appropriate for some. But "some" is a number smaller than the masses of people currently flooding into these 192 schools.

So, I got kicked out of the law school last night at midnight. I should be able to work in there as long and as late as I want, especially because finals are about to start. Need I mention that this school costs a boatload of money, why can’t I use it 24/7. The rent a cop said that the law school closes at midnight period. When I asked why? He repeated it’s closed and said “get out”! What a bunch of BS.
How late are everyone else’s law school’s open until? Please let me know if I am getting hosed. If yours closes early, where do you find solitude?

Thanks,
