Unfortunately, the law-school scam has regained strength in recent years. Despite the abundance of anti-scam literature here and elsewhere, lemmings keep rushing headlong into scam-schools, usually using federally guaranteed student loans that bear high interest and cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. Until the scam, and its monetary underpinning, have been eliminated, our work will not be done.
Think about it from the perspective of the folks applying to low ranked law schools. They often party away their time in college, and end up living at home with their parents, pushing a broom at their local grocery store for near-minimum wage after they graduate. Turns out that their degree in "film" or "English Literature" is wholly worthless. So, they can have three more years, away from their parents, out of the workforce, to do as they please--and not only is it all funded by student loans, but their current student loans, from college, well, they won't be required to pay any of them back until they finish law school! Or, on the other hand, they can keep stocking shelves and sweeping floors, and trying to pay back their college loans, while living with Mom and Dad. To them, this is an easy choice. In fact, some students will try to go on to even more higher education after law school, to keep the good times rolling, funded by ever more student loans. As long as we fund this nonsense, it will keep happening.
