ABA concerned about student debt and the value proposition of law school

Yesterday, ABA President  Zack responded to a letter from U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer urging law schools to disclose more information about the costs and benefits of a legal education.  Mark Hansen of ABA Journal reports that President Zack said nobody is more concerned about the future of the legal profession and the value of a legal education than the ABA.  

"No one could be more focused on the future of our next generation of lawyers than the ABA and the legal profession for whom we speak," Zack wrote in a response to Senator Boxer.  "An interest in pursuing justice should not leave someone with a life shadowed by overwhelming debt."
