Q: Is a law school education a good buy in the current economic environment? Why is law school so expensive?
A: Investing in any graduate degree is a big decision. I believe that the value of a law degree is measured over the course of a lifelong career. Legal education always has been an incredibly worthwhile and valuable pursuit because the foundations of a good legal education—developing sound reasoning, critical reading, strong writing and communications skills, a passion for advocacy, and a deep sense of societal, business, and civic constructs—are valued across so many professions.
