ACTUALLY, GIVEN HIS TRACK RECORD THIS IS PROBABLY GOOD NEWS FOR LEGAL EDUCATION: Obama Warns College Students Against Law School.

When the President of the United States is telling 20 somethings not to enter his own profession, you know it’s in for a radical downsizing. Luckily, it seems law schools themselves are adjusting to this new reality. Some are cutting their class sizes, others are exploring reducing or eliminating the third year of law school. But these are only small starts, and only a small number of schools are considering them. Law schools need to do more to get in front of the market collapse and make radical changes before the changes are forced on them in a more painful way. If the President himself coming down against more lawyers doesn’t motivate them, we don’t know what will.

I mean, every statement has an expiration date.
