A WSJ article reports that applications to US law schools are down 11.5% compared to last year. The reason appears to be that students are fearing high law school tuition debts (about $100,000 according to the ABA) and the prospect of a tight job market that offers a lot fewer job opportunities. The article indicates that the statistics are the lowest in 10 years-since 2001. Apparently, corporate law firms have cut back, and many law firms are freezing starting salaries for new lawyers. The article concludes that law school no longer appears to be for the undecided who are not sure what career to pursue.
