The organization behind the Law School Admission Test reported that the number of tests it administered this year dropped by more than 16 percent, the largest decline in more than a decade.
The decline reflects a spreading view that the legal market in the United States is in terrible shape and will have a hard time absorbing the roughly 45,000 students who are expected to graduate from law school in each of the next three years.
Many lawyers and law professors have argued in recent years that the legal market will either stop developing or shrink as technology allows more low-end legal work to be handled overseas, and as corporations demand more cost-efficient fee arrangements from their firms.
That argument, and news that so many new lawyers are struggling with immense debt, is changing the way law school is perceived by undergrads. Word is getting through that law school is no longer a safe place to sit out an economic recession—an article of faith for years—and that strong grades at an above-average school no longer guarantees a six-figure law firm job.
" For a long time there has been this culturally embedded perception that if you go to law school, it will be worth the money," said Kyle McEntee of Law School Transparency. " The idea that law school is an easy ticket to financial security is finally breaking down. "
Law schools have also suffered through some critical press in the last couple of years. Some blogs, most of them written by unemployed or underemployed graduates, have accused law schools of tempting students with questionable data. Attention has focused on a crucial statistic: the percentage of graduates who are employed nine months after graduation.
In recent months, class-action lawsuits have been filed against more than a dozen law schools, charging that students were deceived into enrolling by postgraduate employment figures that were vastly, and falsely, inflated (夸张的). Even if law schools are able to defeat these lawsuits—and many legal scholars anticipate they will—the media attention has been bruising.
For some law schools, the gradually diminishing number of test-takers represents a serious long-term challenge.
"What I’d anticipate is that you’ll see the biggest falloff in applications in the bottom end of the law school food chain," said Andrew Morriss of the University of Alabama School of Law. "Those schools are going to have significant difficulty because they are dependent on tuition to fund themselves and they’ll either have to cut class size to maintain standards, or accept students with lower levels. "
If they take the second course, Mr. Morriss said, it would hurt the school three years later because there is a strong correlation between poor performance on the LSAT and poor performance on the bar exam. If students start failing the bar, then the prestige of the school will drop, which would mean lowering standards even more. "At that point," Mr. Morriss said, "the school is risking a death spiral. "
What did the undergrads think about the law school in the past?
选项
A、Law schools were not attractive to students any more.
B、Students graduated from law schools would have heavy debts.
C、Graduates of law schools could find a job even in the recession.
D、Law schools meant a good job in the law firm with high salary.
答案
C
解析
由题干中的undergrads和in the past定位到第四段第二句。细节辨认题。由定位句可知,法学院不再是躲避经济衰退的避难所,因此C)“法学院的毕业生过去甚至在经济衰退期都能找到工作”与定位句文意相符,故为正确答案。
