Senator Grassley Slams The ABA for its Complicity in the Law School Scam. And a Telling Comment in the Wall St Journal

Senator Grassley has come down hard on the ABA for allowing law schools to lie about how well their graduates do. And now in response the ABA has output yet another mealy mouthed, platitude-ridden turd as reported in the Wall St Journal.

Beneath the story are some interesting comments. Such as this one:

The commentator "Do not go to law school" wrote:" ....My Senator told me that for every attorney posting on USAJobs, they receive 4,000 applicants. Locally, 1200 attorneys apply for every position."


That is about what I have heard from the management of the government agency where my friend works. There is a massive oversupply of attorneys.

And yet the ABA continues to generate these "let them eat cake" responses.

I say, off with their heads! Either the federal government or the state government need to step in and disempower the ABA. And where are the state bar associations in all this? The California Bar has at least done some lip service on this issue. But no other bar has uttered a peep.

  1. We should all thank him. I just sent him a short note expressing my support and appreciation regarding this issue at:

    We have to get rid of the ABA because that is the only way to fix this mess; please ask your Senators and Representatives to get involved.
