Law School Job Market -
7. May 2010 by Jim Sutliff.
The job market for law school graduates is considered to be the worst in recent memory. The Wall Street Journal has an article that discusses the situation and the overall decline in job offers. There are still over 40,000 law degrees awarded every year and that number is likely to remain stable. However, the demand for attorneys has dropped significantly and firm revenues are also in decline. This is a good article to read for anyone that is considering attending law school.
