To Practice Law, Apprentice First - NYTimes.com

To Practice Law, Apprentice First - NYTimes.com:
by John J. Farmer, Dean, Rutgers-Newark School of Law 
"THE American Bar Association, which sets the standards for accrediting law schools, met recently in Dallas at a time of existential crisis for legal education. The job market for law school graduates is collapsing; some schools have been misleading, or even fraudulent, in reporting admissions and employment data; tuition and student debt have reached record levels. Some question legal education itself: What is its mission? What value does it add? Those are legitimate questions. But to answer them for legal education, we also need to ask them of the profession."
