Law school enrollment is at its lowest level since 1982, according to multiple reports.
The American Bar Association said that law school enrollment fell seven percent from last year and has gone down 17.5 percent since 2010. On top of that, first-year law school fell 27.7 percent from the same peak of 2010.
All in all, enrollment is at its lowest level since 1982 despite there being more overall law schools. The bar association also said that fewer than two-thirds of people who passed the bar in 2013 had found jobs that required passing the bar within nine months.
