The other night over dinner, a colleague told me that his brother-in-law was still looking for a job — and so were all his brother-in-law’s pals. As it happens, this unemployed relative along with his friends had all recently graduated from architecture school, and they had no choice except to hang out. I listened to this anecdote with interest, not only because when I was young I always wanted to become an architect, but also due to the seemingly daily exposés doubting the value of legal education.
I remain convinced that a Juris Doctor degree is an advisable investment. I’d like to explain why. I know, of course, that as a law school dean I have an interest in the matter, yet I have the role that I do because I believe in the professional training we offer and not vice versa.
