A Modest Proposal Concerning Legal Education There have been proposals to shorten the time it takes to get a law school degree, and the grounds for these proposals are usually that law school is very expensive, and law students graduate with a ton of debt and then cannot find legal jobs to enable them to pay off that debt, and meanwhile, a large segment of society is underserved by the legal profession. So one solution is to let law students graduate in two years, which presumably would mean that they have 1/3 less debt, and will be willing to practice law at a lower billable rate, serving clients who can't afford an attorney at current rates. But notice that the law students still will be paying heavily for those two years, and going heavily into debt. It doesn't take a genius to see that a law school is essentially a group of lecture halls adjacent to a law library. And you hardly even need the law library anymore, given the fact that legal research is mainly done online today. Yes, you need law professors who are excellent teachers, but essentially that is a low overhead operation for most subjects, because a law professor can teach a class of 50-100 law students, and most courses do not involve many graded events. So if you want to make law school affordable, stop using the law school as a cash cow, and charge less per credit hour. If you want to help law students financially even more, make it...
