In fact it's become quite difficult to land a job as a recent law graduate if you didn't go to a first-tier school, at least in the U.S.

There's a huge glut of unemployed lawyers, most of whom racked up a lot of debt getting their degrees.

Yep, and many of the schools provide horribly misleading statistics about their graduates' careers.
