Good to see Napoleon Dynamite in the audience. There was some discussion on attracting more young people to law. However there are already too many lawyers in the profession. Most getting out of average law schools cannot get jobs that pay them for what they are worth. Other professions and businesses make more just with an undergrad education. Why go to law school and work so hard and have a lifetime of loans and make $60k-$70k a year? Of course Harvard lawyers and GCs are so far removed from this scenario. Law was a great progression 50-100 years ago when the average person had a 4th grade education. Lawyers were the wealthy educated class. Not so today.
