Law School Debt Adds Additional Burdens to a Failing System
<p>Years ago, Steven Harper wrote a book titled <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qsXBQzmczk" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><em>The Lawyer Bubble</em></a>. The book addressed the shift within law school and the practice of law. Harper noted that the focus on short-term at the expense of the long-term was harming the next generation of lawyers. Harper explained that 6 out of 10 lawyers advise young people to stay away from law school. This reflected not only the stress of the profession, but the burden of the debt which lawyers take on.</p>
<p>The cost of law school varies depending on the institution and location. According to the American Bar Association, the average tuition for private law schools was $49,312 per year in the 2019–2020 academic year. Public law schools were slightly less expensive, with an average tuition of $28,186 per year for in-state students and $41,726 per year for out-of-state students. However, these figures do not include other expenses such as housing, textbooks, and transportation, which can add up quickly.</p>
