The WSJ law blog and the NYT Deal Book discuss the economics of attending law school, and suggest that perhaps some schools aren't being accurate in their promotional claims -- a topic this blog was discussing over four years ago. I don't think that using the ABA to impose quotas on new schools and new lawyers is an option any longer, despite what the Deal Book article suggests. And I wouldn't be a fan of that approach even if it were lawful. I'm a fan of candid, honest information being given to law school applicants and students. You might ask, "well, who isn't?" but the competitive pressures on law schools have led to the occasional use of misleading information, both in the rankings context and the career development context. Because law schools teach more by action than by words, it's an important ethics issue.
