In this ABA Journal piece, we read that Richard Matasar, dean of New York Law School, has had an attack of conscience over the fact that a considerable percentage of the students admitted into law schools in the U.S. never graduate, or can’t find any legal work after graduating. He says that law schools are “exploiting” students they admit who don’t have “good outcomes.”

Matasar also notes that registrations for the LSAT are somewhat down, perhaps indicating that students are catching on that having a law degree isn’t a guarantee of a good job. Such candor will probably get Matasar shunned at the next American Association of Law Schools convention.
