[quote=Anonymous]I would go only if you get a free ride somewhere or _maybe_ Georgetown with some kind of scholarship (Georgetown at sticker is a bad investment). Anything else is insane these days. Law school enrollment is down to mid-1970s levels and still falling. There is talk of some of the true gutter schools (especially the free-standing law schools without a university affiliation) closing down. The unemployment rate for new grads is "officially" about 11%, but I think they are counting people with any job (including barista at Starbucks) as "employed." I would be interested to see the stats including only jobs as an attorney, or at least jobs that require a JD (e.g., not paralegal or legal secretary gigs -- a couple years ago I worked for a solo and posted a job ad for a secretary and got 3-4 recent JDs sending me a resume. And things are worse now). Things are bad for the legal job market, and this isn't a temporary blip. [/quote]
