Law School Enrollment Declines

Some law school administrators believe that in the near future there may be a shortage of lawyers as law school enrollment continues to decline. Tennessee law schools are no exception to the declining enrollment.

However, not everybody believes this a bad thing for the current students. The class sizes will be smaller and more scholarship opportunities will be available. Law schools have dropped fees and lowered tuition.
