Law schools growing, Lawyer Jobs Don't

The AP has a story on the excess supply of lawyers.Here's an eye opening comment on some bogus statistics:

The methods that law schools choose to collect salary info just happen to be ones that underreport low earners. The figures for what percentage are employed within nine months often say nothing about whether those graduates are using their law degree. They could be taxi drivers with JDs - and $100,000 of debt.

"If we really started unpacking these numbers," Henderson said in an interview, "we would see some really unattractive accounting how law schools classify their graduates. It would be borderline scandalous."

You might say some of the numbers aren't exactly accurate.
