Law schools are confronting an unholy Trinity of factors: (1) huge student debt (the national average — not including undergraduate obligations — is $ 120K); (2) abysmal post-graduation
employment rates (nationally, almost half of law school products do not have jobs requiring legal licensure nine months after
graduating); and (3) an absence of skills required for the legal
marketplace (and this is coupled with the decline of mentorship / on - the - job training).
