This book is a tight and fresh analysis of the American legal
profession and its significance to society and its citizens. The
book’s primary objective is to expose, and correct, the principal
misconceptions—myths--surrounding prelaw study, law school
admission, law school, and the American legal profession itself.
These issues are vitally important to prelaw advisors and
instructors in light of the difficult problems caused by the Great
Recessions of 2008 and 2020-21 and the disruptions caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic. Aimed equally at pre-law advisors and potential
law students, this book can be used as a supplement in the
interdisciplinary undergraduate law-related instructional market,
including courses that cater to majors/minors in political science
and criminal justice in particular. It can also be used in career
counselling, internships, and the extensive paralegal program
market. New to the Second Edition Expanded coverage to include
paralegal and legal assistant training. New material on women and
minority law students who are transforming law schools and the
profession. Explores challenges to the legal profession posed by
economic recession, Covid-19, high tuition rates, exploding student
loan debt, internet technological advances, and global competitive
pressures including legal outsourcing and DIY legal services.
