Law schools don't help lawyers
In the teleseminar today sponsored by West LegalEdcenter and LawBiz Management, we heard from 3 recent graduates. Their comments were poignant. Law school deans and management should take heed, listen to these comments and then take action.
For the first time, prospective law school students are considering the economics ... they are conducting a cost benefit analysis ... considering their return on investment (ROI). And some are saying the ROI is not good enough.
What is your opinion? What are the considerations that would cause you to go to law school today?
And, if you're a lawyer, what did your law school do or not do that prepared you for today's real world in the legal profession?

With law schools becoming more expensive and legal positions paying less, I do think that the ROI is drastically decreasing. This is especially true since the majority of law schools don't teach necessary real-world skills, such as marketing and business development.
