At Least They’re Being Honest
Law schools, of course, have every incentive to get their graduates into high-priced, prestigious law firms. Not only does it make the law schools look more prestigious, but it gives the graduates lots of money they don’t have time to spend and which, so the theory goes, they can donate to their law school. According to this article at Precedent, Yale Law School is at least honest about the cost of that path. Their career development office has a handout that helps students figure out what 2200 billable hours really means. The numbers are pretty scary and students who are on the Biglaw track should at least make an informed choice.
