Yes, that's right. A law student meets the ghost of law students past. This YouTube offering, in five parts, is an interesting diversion into many of the issues that law students face as they prepare themselves for a shifting and murky job market.
At the heart of A Law School Carol is the disconnect between what many law students think about the job market and value of law degree and the real world career challenges that recent graduates face. Things like the mystique of the invincible law student and the Big Law career track myth are brought out.
As the profession continues to shift and as law firms continue to cut back, still the number of LSAT takers skyrockets and new attorneys flood the market. But, amidst all of the law career naysayers (certainly no shortage of those), what the Law School Carol may ultimately get through to some current and prospective law students is that law school is still worth it, if the ailing traditional career track isn't the reason why you're going to law school in the first place.
