If you're thinking about law school...

...you've no doubt come across the legions of law school bashers in cyberspace, most rather badly informed and not too sharp.  (I used to engage this "law school is a scam" crowd, for which my reward  was mountains of vile and often defamatory abuse and campaigns of character assassination--they're a charming crowd.)  There are real issues about legal education prospective students should consider, but for a more sober perspective I commend the work on the labor economics of legal markets by Michael Simkovic at Seton Hall University; he has posted discussions and summaries of much of it at my law blog.
