No New Lawyers! The legal profession job crisis
a downturn in the economy would likely last no more than it took to graduate from law school.

"There are too many lawyers and too few jobs.and she was doing volunteer work."
." He added: "I'm not sure it's going to get better any time soon."
The legal profession, like many others, has been downsizing.
"The recession has really changed the dynamics of the legal profession,"
But American law schools will graduate about 44,000 students each year during that time, and in doing the math, that means six new lawyers, not including older graduates, will be fighting it out for just one new job.
And most law school grads come out with student debt usually between $125,000 and $250,000, depending on where they went to school, according to Department of Education statistics. That's on top of their underclass debt which could average the same amount.
Law school is still a magnet for many people, but much less so than before.
For those who are still willing to jump into the current situation, the advice is simple,
"A friend's daughter called me the other day about whether she should go to law school," Matarajan said. "If you have a passion for the law, then go, but don't do it because your family wants you to go or you can't think of anything else to do." He added: "You have to have the passion with the way things are now. Otherwise, choose something else."
