[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Law schools are cash cows for universities. They make money. They really don't give a crap about whether their students are gainfully employed or not. [/quote] This. I do personally know several successful American University law graduates, though. They are buried under $150K+ worth of debt, though. [/quote] There are many successful graduates. But even AU grads are facing much tougher employment headwinds than pre-2008. Prospects have not improved that much in the economic recovery, and long-term trends do not look good for so many law students entering the job market. There's lots of pressure on law schools nationwide. Perhaps the top 10-20 law schools and their students are largely buffered from this, but AU is not quite in that tier. So it seems counter-intuitive for them to be expanding an already-large law school now.[/quote]
