- jseliger 11y agoThis should not be too surprising: law school now adversely selects for intelligence, for reasons discussed in Paul Campos's Don't Go to Law School (Unless) (http://jakeseliger.com/2012/11/11/dont-go-to-law-school-unless-paul-campos/ http://jakeseliger.com/2012/11/11/dont-go-to-law-school-unle...) and elsewhere. Jobs that require law degrees are scarce outside of the top 30 or so schools. Even those who get legal jobs often then must contend with having to be actual lawyers. I went to law school for a year, for the usual bad reasons. Quitting is among the smarter things I've done.
