<p>I don’t think there is any harm in more law schools, public and private, opening their doors to students. As I often say, though, students applying to these law schools (like any others) have to go in with their eyes open to the costs of attendance, the opportunities for learning and growth within that particular law school, what it really means on a monthly basis to have to pay off student loans and what their employment prospects will be post-graduation. </p>
<p>The job market for lawyers is competitive, whether you are looking for a job in biglaw or a public interest job (in fact, it always seemed to me that the public interest jobs were harder to find with a less clearly defined hiring process than the biglaw firms). A lot of folks graduate from law school every year and employers have their pick of them.</p>
