<p>I think when one considers whether to be critical of the establishment of new law schools, a distinction should be make between public and private schools. The former are offering a chance to obtain a law school education at a reasonable price – how often is it mentioned here that those not attending the top tier law schools often incur enormous debt with little chance to land a job that will make debt repayment feasible? Additional public affordable law schools can allow people who really want to become lawyers to enter the field without finances being the overriding issue it is at a private school.
With respect to new private law schools? I think you do have to wonder as to what the school will really be offering its students in exchange for the undoubtedly hefty price tag.</p>
