As a practicing lawyer for the last 25 years I follow the trends pretty closely. Law school enrollment is down nearly 40% in most states. There just isn't enough work any longer to sustain prior levels of enrollment. Of the roughly 215 law schools in this country we would do well to close at least half of those. It cost a lot and isn't worth it to the great majority of new lawyers.

We need more people going into the health care field. That's a given.
