Mrs. Vince DeMarco, a bar owner and single parent, files a
complaint with a congressman demanding to know why the federal
government tolerates a state law prohibiting her son from earning a
law license through an apprenticeship program the way John Marshall
and Abraham Lincoln did. She claimed the law in her son's state
didn't make sense because seven of the fifty states permit law
office apprenticeship programs that produce "excellent" attorneys,
according to several studies. Why aren't such programs available in
all states and why should her son "suffer" the "needless expense of
law school" simply because of where he lives? she wanted to know.
Mrs. DeMarco explains her dilemma to Bill McNare, an aging
journalist living in a rooming house, worried about money following
a divorce and a career going nowhere under his new editors. McNare
becomes intrigued with the story after learning the state of
Washington's four-year apprenticeship program costs less than
$10,000 total and is taught by practicing attorneys with at least
ten years of experience. If the states and the federal government
are genuinely concerned about soaring student debt, why don't they
encourage such cost-saving apprenticeship programs? he wonders.
What McNare discovers about the higher educational system will
shock, surprise and sadden many readers.
