@davidlat If firms don't want to hire 3Ls and their clients don't want to pay first-years, who is paying for an apprenticeship?

@DavidLat I don’t disagree. Replacing 3L year with something concrete is different than just making law school 2 years to reduce its cost. -
@doncruse: Plus the apprentices earn (a little) money in that third year, a la medical residents. But yeah, it's evolution, not revolution. -
@DavidLat Your idea is a good one. But it requires more money go into the system, from some source. The town hall was about reducing costs.

@Greg_Callus@davidlat@atlblog Poss not best example. Pupillage paid but 400 p/a. Also check out state of UK jnr Bar http://bit.ly/12mvwu9 -
@lawcampus@Greg_Callus@atlblog: Interesting (but I think US is probably still worse). Also the piece is focused on crim/legal aid bar. -
@DavidLat@lawcampus@atlblog Closer comparison for US maybe sol firms. 2 yrs postgrad law (fees paid) + 2 yrs Training Contract (salaried) -
@DavidLat@lawcampus@atlblog Shorten law school to what is needed for practice (not academia) & introduce salaried training = minimal debt -
@Greg_Callus@davidlat@atlblog other UK alternatives - ILEX, legal apprenticeships at 18 y/o. More change driven by new entrants via ABSs
