Legal education makes service a low priority; students are often redirected from public-interest paths

Article Abstract:

The small number of law school graduates interested in pro bono work can be ascribed to low faculty interest in counseling about career options for law students and the under-representation of public interest organizations among on-campus interviewers. The desire of students to enter a well-paid area of the law in order to pay off their student loans may also play a part. Law schools should take the ABA's exhortation to better serve public interest and do more to steer some students in that direction.
