For 99% of the population, the only reason to consider attending law school is to become a lawyer. 30% of Grads Don't Practice Law. Competition among recent law grads will continue to be stiff thanks to the large number of graduates every year. Further reducing opportunities is the trend among many businesses to rely on accounting firms and paralegals that perform the same functions lawyers do, but more cheaply. Already there are more lawyers than pigeons. If you want to be a lawyer you better love the law.

Look at the bar passage rate in your state for the answer. If you don't pass you can't be a lawyer.
