Is A Law School Recovery Just Around The Corner?
Deans and admissions experts are hoping, wishing, and praying for relief.
The terror that was driving away applicants has passed. You just aren’t hearing the horror stories anymore of the person who was on law review and at the top of their class who couldn’t find a job.
— Professor Alfred Brophy of the University of North Carolina School of Law, commenting on legal educators’ hopes that the 2015-2016 academic year will be the end of a dramatic five-year slump in law school enrollment. Deans and admissions experts are wishcasting the end of plummeting law school enrollment based on the lowest decline in applicants since 2011 (2 percent) and the small spike in LSAT takers in June 2015 (6.6 percent).
(Apparently Professor Brophy hasn’t been reading Above the Law lately. Not to worry, we’ve got plenty of terrifying tales about law students and graduates who are still struggling to survive.)
