Lawyers are problem-solvers, so when the number of students applying and enrolling at law schools started to decline quite dramatically in the last several years as a result of the economic downturn, the lawyers who run these schools had to figure out a way to solve the problem.

Since 2010, the number of law school applications has declined, and enrollment is down anywhere from 15 to 42 percent in just the last three years.
