It's always interesting to hear discussions of the apprenticeship system in this day and age. Law school is an extremely valuable experience, but the problem is not all law degrees are created equal. A T14 (the top tier of schools) can employ the majority of their students into legal jobs, while a equally pricey, but less well known school could fail to employ even a small subset of their student population to JD-advantaged jobs (a job that makes use of one's law degree).
Prospective law students today should aim to maximize their application strength, and take advantage of the plethora of scholarships given out at just about every reputable law school (excluding HYS). Furthermore, attending a reputable school gives students access to public interest programs within the schools that support their high debt-relatively low -income students.
