2014 Law School Applications Plummet
With recent law school graduates stating that, “I Consider Law School A Waste Of My Life”,it’s no wonder that the American Bar Association is reporting that number applications for entry into these programs is plummeting (hat-tip, Instapundit).
As of 1/03/14, there are 131,097 Fall 2014 applications submitted by 19,529 applicants. Applicants are down 13.6% and applications are down 15.8% from 2013.
Here is an easy prediction to make for 2014, too: Enrollment in law schools will hit record-low levels.

One thing wrong with the article. Applications will continue to drop but enrollments won’t.
The law schools will take anyone they can get (no matter how unqualified), load them down with student loans and send them out knowing they will never get a meaningful job in the law field.
The law schools make money from this process so they are happy.
