Given the high cost of law school, finances can often be a determining factor in law students’ career choices. According to HLS Student Financial Services, the standard student budget for the 2009-2010 school year is $67,900. Although financial aid is available, even a portion of this amount is a daunting price that many students will pay for themselves with student loans. Under this pressure, choosing to go into the private sector, where the average starting salary for 2008 HLS grads was over $155,000, can be a more stable and financially responsible choice than taking less...
While it is admirable that HLS has moved to increase its allocation of financial aid by $2.7 million, this does not serve the same purpose of helping those who need it most.

Indeed, the Congressional Black Caucus, upset that Main Street, and especially hard-hit black communities, has received little aid compared with the $700 billion Wall Street bailout, last week held up a crucial vote on financial regulatory reform, an Obama Administration priority. And some 128 House members, including 17 Republicans, have banded together to form the Jobs Now! Caucus, working with the leadership to craft a jobs bill...
