The Financial and Social Struggles in Law School
This chapter explores the heavy financial burden that law schools place on students, particularly the $200,000 cost of legal education, which often pushes graduates toward corporate careers. It highlights the challenges faced by law students, including disparities in demographics among faculty, the presence of microaggressions, and the competitive culture personified by 'Gunners.' Through personal stories, the chapter addresses the complexities of student debt, the disconnect between academic theory and practical needs, and the toll of an unwelcoming environment for marginalized students.
