Actually, this is on the LACK of need for law school.
For many years, I have thought that law school is nothing but a barrier to entry into the field of legal services, serving no purpose other than to hold down the number of competitors.

The article doesn’t go so far as to question government licensing of attorneys, but that’s also unnecessary.
