They don't want the grief major league baseball or football has. They also don't want to spin its accreditation committee off like the AMA into a separate independent branch. This spin off would cause the ABA would lose power and political clout. <br /><br />The ABA does not want a monopoly suit. To avoid this suit, it will never say NY,Fla,NC, or Calif has 10 Law Schools and 3/4 the grads are unemployed; they don't need anymore schools.The Yuppie Attorneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697997369307991468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452025352696285200.post-4674678219403436172009-12-06T23:03:36.489-05:002009-12-06T23:03:36.489-05:00I wish that attorneys could go to school for nearl...I wish that attorneys could go to school for nearly nothing so that their job could be something akin to a public service. There should be no pro se litigants. Everyone should have the right to an attorney whether they are in civil court or criminal. Alas, with the 100K of student loan debt that I pulled out, I can't do what I think I would enjoy because I can't afford to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452025352696285200.post-18842194168736219732009-12-06T15:40:28.749-05:002009-12-06T15:40:28.749-05:00I hope you are being facetious, 11:38.
Binghamt...I hope you are being facetious, 11:38. <br /><br />Binghamton just wants to get in on the game. They don't really care about the "desperate need" for more lawyers. For example, Belmont Law School in TN feels that it can make up its initial investment within three years of opening its doors. THAT is why you see more law schools being constructed.Nandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06423524039657355134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452025352696285200.post-14129761298586649752009-12-06T14:38:12.584-05:002009-12-06T14:38:12.584-05:00How can there be too many lawyers?

Except that this particular one was accompanied with crushing debt. I take responsibility for my choice and a million times over wish I could do things differently, but I also find it completely unacceptable that for 3 years, hundreds of thousands of dollars, the bar exam and a generally extensive investment of time, energy and soul, schools are pumping out people who literally will never have a chance at working as an attorney. And they are well aware of this. I'm one of them. (2007 private school tier 2) But it's not just outliers as some would have you believe, it's a large percentage. And obviously, the answer to this problem is...another law school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452025352696285200.post-9944122604680897032009-12-04T18:33:31.834-05:002009-12-04T18:33:31.834-05:00Remember, 43,587 only counts the grads from 198 AB...Remember, 43,587 only counts the grads from 198 ABA-accredited law schools. It does not include those pumped out by non-ABA accredited schools. <br /><br />It is fraudulent behavior for the ABA to approve any more law schools. Those already operating are producing WAY MORE GRADS than there are available openings. So, naturally that corrupt enterprise/political organization known as the ABA has decided to keep allowing more schools to open their doors. Great job, ABA! You are turning a JD into a criminal justice degree.<br /><br />Remember, when criminology was a decent degree? You had solid programs from across the country offering this program of study. Well, with online schools like Kaplan and Hamilton College (and a slew of others) giving anybody with a pulse a degree, that degree has become a joke. The same damn thing has happened to the JD.Nandohttp://thirdtierreality.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
