Credit quality appears to be bifurcating between small stand-alone law schools and component programs in nationally recognized universities and large state schools.
Looks like the legal education industry is about to follow the bimodal distribution trail blazed by the legal services industry and morph into winners and losers. To the losers: network. Even the winners are finding that their cash cow just died.
