Law schools have really lost sight of what matters, and that is making competent lawyers. Today, all that matters to them is your ranking and job placement. Why is this a problem? You have students dodging hard classes to maintain a strong gpa and CSO pit you against your classmates. If you truly believe in your institution, then your students' competition isn't their fellow classmates, it's the students of other schools. Encourage them to take hard classes, to challenge themselves. Instead, they're graduating kids at younger ages every year whose hardest course in law school was probably "Law of Hip Hop" or "Sports Law".

Combine all of that with the fact that law schools are increasing enrollment to offset budget cuts in an increasingly oversaturated job market, and it's obvious why the profession has suffered greatly.
