Thinking About Law School: Rising Interest, Loans, and AI

Many people want to go to law school now. The number of people applying is more than 50% higher than it was two years ago.

Many more people take the law test called the LSAT. Law schools get more applications and they must choose which students to accept.

At the same time, new rules on student loans make borrowing harder for some students. Firms are using artificial intelligence for routine work, and some offices have cut jobs. These changes mean a law degree may not pay off quickly, so students must think about costs and career plans. Many people choose to work first and study later.
