[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Putting down law school has become very popular, and law school admissions are declining steadily. So the popular wisdom is "don't apply to law school."

But what that really means is there will be fewer new lawyers three years from now. [b]If demand for legal services doesn't drop as suddenly as the supply of lawyers,[/b] it will be a great time to graduate law school.

I have no idea why people are dumping all over Duke. It deserves its top ten spot. I would go there over Emory every day of the week. If you plan on practicing in the south or midatlantic, even more so.[/quote]

The demand is dropping like a rock.  Many firms are reporting revenue declines this year. And what demand is out there is at a lower price point with clients demanding discounts. Given the large numbers of under employed recent law grads I think it will take a lot fewer new lawyers just to get to equilibrium, much less get to where there is actually good demand for new lawyers.[/quote]
