From the Tell Us Something We Don’t Already Know Department

This from the Law Blog at WSJ.com:

A fancy 28-page study released yesterday by something called the Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research makes a breathtaking discovery: the first two years of law school are more demanding than the third.

Among the survey’s chapters: The First Year: “They Scare You to Death”; the Second Year: “They Work You to Death”; The Last Year: “They Bore You to Death.” Some 28,000 law student participated in the survey, which reported that law students, on average, emerge from law school saddled with more than $77,000 in debt from student loans.

While our headline jests, we here at law blog think the IUCPR raises an important issue: the third year of law school benefits university balance sheets, and that’s pretty much it.
