If you can’t beat them, join them.
I just watched a three-part, 25-minute-long YouTube song arguing that everybody should go to law school. It was an experience. In the chorus of the song, they talked about “law school housewives” helping their community. It was a happy song until the end.
And it was free. Look, if the ABA is not going to stop the proliferation of unnecessary law schools, then the next best alternative would be to make law schools available to everybody. Legal education all around!

If everybody had it, then they couldn’t charge six figures for it. Or at the very least, only a few schools would be able to charge six figures for their special brand of legal education. Right? Isn’t that a great idea? Law school for everybody!
But don’t take my word for it. Listen to the song. (Help me). Listen to it damnit! (It’s hurting me in the brain.) EVERYBODY needs to go to law school right now!
Here’s part one of this (overlong) YouTube video. The logic here is so circular it is sublime.

(Warning: the song starts at about the 2:30 mark, and if you listen to the whole thing you might end up like those guys who looked directly into the Ark of the Covenant.)
Parts two and three are more of the same. Well, except for the end of part three. That’s when they start counting the lawyers who are terrorists, Nazis, or general criminals. The music changes in that part to something satanical, and let’s just say that my dog and I started making lists of enemies.
In any event, watch the video. All shall be lawyers and despair.
