“Is this a good time to go to law school?” This is the question I posed to Prof. Ben Barros, a professor at Widener Law School, when he was at F&M on Tuesday to teach his first day of property law – often the very first day of class for first-year law students. His answer: “This is the BEST time to go to law school – for someone who really wants to be a lawyer - in 30 years. Applications are down nationwide, and it’s likely that in three years, the economy will be stronger.”
