&lt;p&gt;Great post by Vault’s senior law editor Vera Djordjevich about the 2010 NALP Conference, though she had some bad news for soon-to-be JDs.  She writes:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Bad news: the recession’s impact on law students will be greatest at schools below the top 20.&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Law schools face rising costs, rising demands and falling endowments, though they continue to have rising enrollment.  Among the issues confronting career services: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Budget cuts &lt;li&gt;Pressure from frustrated students and “helicopter parents” &lt;li&gt;Pressure from internal administration &lt;li&gt;“Wrestling with the &lt;i&gt;U.S. News&lt;/i&gt; monster” &lt;li&gt;Law firms question whether to keep recruiting on campus&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can the profession absorb all these law grads?  (No)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Supply/demand rules don’t apply to schools &lt;li&gt;Some schools are changing (e.g., two-year JD programs), but this doesn’t seem to be terribly popular with law firms because it makes it difficult to compare students across schools. &lt;li&gt;Schools will nevertheless resist reducing enrollment and will find it harder to place students--especially schools below the top 20.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Read more on Vault’s Law Blog.&lt;/p&gt;
