Matasar Says Law Schools Are Receiving Inordinate Amount of Scrutiny (Part 1 of 2)

Law schools could easily cut down on the number of applicants if they listed honest employment statistics. My T1 law school still lists 92% employment despite the fact that fewer than 100 students from my class of 300 secured jobs.

Law school administrators have become the new generation of ambulance chasers. The members of the legal profession want nothing to do with their shady tactics and lack of integrity. I hope law schools will soon get the message that greed is NOT good.

Only two years of undergrad and then law school ?!?!?! That's a horrible idea. Students need to sacrifice a full four years of undergrad and then go to law school, no shortcuts. That's why there are too many lawyers and not enough jobs. Matasar wants to make it easy to become a lawyer where in fact it should be difficult and more exclusive. Law schools should be more like medical schools, 4 years, less students, and a higher academic criteria for admissions.
