OREGON STATE BAR BULLETIN AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2016 VOLUME 76 • NUMBER 10 iStock Much has been written about the challenges facing law schools today, with some predicting dramatic changes ahead. If such fundamental shifts are to occur, no one could have foreseen them in the early 2000s, when law schools were awash with students, tuition dollars and private donations. In 2008, when the Great Recession took hold of the world’s economy, everything changed. Legal education may never be the same, as Jennie Bricker reports.
