Law school applications have risen by roughly 33 percent, with some observers characterizing the increase as nearly half. The Supreme Court’s recent voting-rights argument signals a judicial willingness to revert protections toward 1950s-era standards. Michigan State Title IX investigators may have coordinated with university attorneys, raising conflict and independence concerns. The legal profession shows unusual career stories and turnover. The Department of Justice under Trump expended taxpayer funds on many frivolous cases, imposing harms on defendants regardless of case outcomes. The administration plans to close the CFPB within months while settling a case that dropped claims about a company fleecing troops.
