I'd start by greatly reducing admission, which would mean boarding up scores of law schools.<br /><br />Maybe there should be a clearinghouse for applications. Screen out the worst candidates, irrespective of Daddy's connections to this or that school, and pass on only the best applications. "Best" could be defined so as to promote certain social objectives, such as adequate representation of racialized people, people of modest class background, and non-traditional students.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164886390834386622.post-82881936430165300682012-10-19T17:09:49.851-07:002012-10-19T17:09:49.851-07:00Law school is not—or should not be—just a bar-revi...Law school is not—or should not be—just a bar-review course. <br /><br />Perhaps Cooley and Touro come close to being bar-review courses.

Taxpayer subsidized vacations to South America and Europe. A few people I know spent most of 3L playing online poker or, when the government shut that down, trading forex. A few worked full-time jobs. <br /><br />Unlike 1L, where you are busting ass to get a biglaw job, or 2L where you are scared of the GPA drop because of that anecdote of the person who got no-offered because of a .1 drop during 2L, there really isn't any motivator during 3L for most people. Even dedicated PI folks will interview for fellowships during first semester 3L year. <br /><br />Law firms don't care what you learn 2L and 3L. If they cared, they wouldn't hire after 1L year. <br /><br />Of course the response from legal academia is predictable. They'll articulate some questionable, vague "value" (probably something like the third year expands upon the mental processes learned in the first and second year) with no consideration of the costs of that year or potential alternatives.
