Are Law School Enrollments Continuing to Decline?
SANTA ANA, Calif., May 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the American Bar Association ("ABA"), the number of law school applicants has declined in recent years, but that trend is beginning to turn around.
ABA's data reflects that law school enrollment decreased by approximately 9,000 students between 2013 and 2014; however, the latest reports indicate an upturn in ABA-accredited law school enrollment. Why? Based on current political issues, more students have become interested in politics, leading to a rise in law school applications.
Many people believe the primary value of a law degree is becoming a practicing attorney. While that is a popular reason, a law degree can also significantly enhance an individual's career in business, health care, politics, and more.
Legal knowledge is very empowering, whether it be in your career or your daily life. Taft Law School can help you obtain your legal degree.

The online classes make it feasible for students to learn while keeping a flexible schedule.
