Abstract

This is a review of Benjamin H. Barton’s new book, Fixing Law Schools: From Collapse to the Trump Bump and Beyond. The book provides an excellent critical analysis for the challenges law schools face. Barton’s exploration of this controversial issue is backed up with illuminating statistics, often presented in graph form to demonstrate the trends over time and the abruptness and severity of the 2010 collapse.
