Law - "Legal Educators Grapple With How to Meet a Changing Profession's Needs"

Katherine Mangan's Jan. 6, 2012 story in The Chronicle of Higher Education begins:

Seismic changes in the legal profession and a growing skepticism about the value of a law degree have presented law schools with unprecedented challenges, according to speakers at the annual meeting of the Association of American Law Schools.

Legal educators spoke on Thursday with a mixture of defiance, irritation, and chagrin at the drumbeat of criticism that has been volleyed at law schools as students' debt loads have soared and job prospects have shrunk.

Worth a read.
