Law school bar pass rates and first year associate salaries are not what they used to be.  According to <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;money.cnn.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;07&#x2F;15&#x2F;pf&#x2F;jobs&#x2F;lawyer-salaries&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;money.cnn.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;07&#x2F;15&#x2F;pf&#x2F;jobs&#x2F;lawyer-salaries&#x2F;</a> , the median salary for a first year associate is $62k.  Add to the mix that law schools inflate their employment stats by including people whose jobs have nothing to do with the law, and what you get is students suing their law schools for fraud (e.g. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;money.cnn.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;03&#x2F;08&#x2F;pf&#x2F;college&#x2F;lawsuit-thomas-jefferson-school-of-law&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;money.cnn.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;03&#x2F;08&#x2F;pf&#x2F;college&#x2F;lawsuit-thomas-je...</a>)
