A reader who practices law in Louisville, Kentucky, e-mails with a story of the Law of Merited Impossibility manifesting at the University of Louisville’s Brandeis School of Law.
The other day, Luke Milligan, a law professor there, wrote an op-ed in the local newspaper decrying the way the school is becoming ideologized. Excerpts:
A successful law school experience requires years of dedication and costs tens of thousands of dollars or more in tuition and other fees, but even so, the path to a successful career as an attorney is far from secure as law school graduate numbers far outpace the number of available attorney jobs. Law schools should be using predictive analytics to help undergraduates determine if law school is really the right path.
