Robert C.

  • The Cost of Law School and the Burden of Law Student Debt a City Bar Association Program Held on April 27, 2004
    The Cost of Law School and the Burden of Law Student Debt A City Bar Association Program Held on April 27, 2004 Summary ABCNY’s Committee on Legal Education and Admission to the Bar has devoted considerable attention to issues relating to the cost of law school and the effects on law graduates of the substantial levels of debt incurred to finance legal education. The Committee has met with representatives of Access Group (the largest funding source for law student borrowings) and of Concord Law School (Kaplan Inc’s on-line law school). The Committee has issued its own report on the subject of law student debt, available on this website. On April 27, 2004 the Committee convened a panel of experienced educators to discuss both topics. The group included the ABA’s Consultant on Legal Education, who heads the ABA’s accreditations program, the President of Kaplan Inc., two current law school deans (NYU, Syracuse) and a former Cornell dean who is a pioneer in on-line legal resources. What follows is a lightly edited transcript of their discussion, some charts providing the basic statistics, and an abbreviated bibliography. Panel Discussion: The Cost of Law School and The Burden of Law Student Debt Transcript - ABCNY, 4/27/04 MR. BEHA: I’m Jim Beha, the current Chair of the Association’s Committee on Legal Education and Admission to the Bar. This evening’s topic is The Cost of Law School and The Burden of Law Student Debt.

INTRODUCTION What if I said that a place that is revered by many-a place that has moved millions to tears of joy and pangs of heartache-no longer exists? Every few years, a memorable historic stadium is demolished to make way for a new luxury venue that a team can call home. Yet, for many fans, the modem stadiums lack the charm of the old ballparks. Fans see these replacements as crimes against their cultural history. Communities confront stadium proposals with cries to protect the aging giants. But, there are tremendous costs involved with historic preservation, especially the protection of sports facilities, which stand in contrast to the costs associated with preservation of residential or commercial buildings.
