(The other truth about law being that working as a lawyer is much more boring and stressful than can be imagined before trying it and that lots of the working lawyers you'll be spending time with are REALLY UNHAPPY and you may become that way as well.) It's simple. We demand accuracy from all kinds of other institutions - the issue as I see it is just that the law schools need to present accurate data. And lawyers need to talk about these issues (the cost vs. benefit of law school plus the job dissatisfaction issue) honestly and openly. There is a growing-up process in all areas of life.. but don't we all want to help others out? Isn't that also a big part of being a lawyer - the whole ethical, truth thing? Anyway, great blog, thanks Prof. Campos. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
