Talking About Getting Into Law School

Why are we talking about getting into law school?

Probably because you want to get into law school.

Many people today, especially in this troubled economy, want to go to law school.  This desire comes from a perception that law school will ensure a good job with top wages.  In many, if not most, cases, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Law school does not guarantee a good job or high pay.  What it often does guarantee, on the other hand, is a three year delay before you start getting paid, and a significant debt burden that will follow the law school graduate for decades.
