Chuck Otey’s Pro Bono Barrister for Nov. 25
Guest Columnist Brooklyn Law School Dean Nick Allard Responds to New York Times Editorial on Law Schools
(Columnist’s note: Recently, The New York Times ran an editorial that assumed that law schools were responsible for the huge debts facing graduates. The Times used a broad brush in forming its analysis and many in the legal profession believed that the Times was playing to the anti-lawyer feelings that are regularly stoked by the daily press and other media.
Never one to stand aside when the brickbats are flying, Brooklyn Law School Dean Nick Allard fashioned a response that has been well received among law school administrators and throughout the profession. Since the mission of “Pro Bono Barrister” for the past 15 years has been to “tell about the good that lawyers do,” we are pleased to present his timely and cogent message below.)
