Why Is Going to Law School So Popular Again?

Bloomberg’s Justin Fox notes:
Law school has long served as a fallback for college graduates with reasonably good grades who can’t find good jobs or just can’t decide what they want to do when they grow up. With generative artificial intelligence possibly behind the hiring slowdown for young grads and definitely driving uncertainty about the future of white-collar work, there are surely more recent graduates in this position now than a few years ago. With the Trump administration on the warpath against federal civil servants and an unsettling recent barrage of corporate layoff announcements, it’s not just recent college graduates, either. The rise in law school applications may well be a warning sign of economic distress.
