My cousin is a law Professor and he said it's so bad for lawyers that Ivy league grads are taking the mediocre jobs making it that much harder for the other grads to find work. He also mentioned to stay accredited they need to spend millions each year updating books even though they use mostly digital now.
On another note, I recently trained a lawyer that became a coder. He went back to school for a tech degree but his family has money so no big deal for him. .
