There are some good reasons.

Is it starting salaries are down bad?

Working for someone else salaries are bad. Law Review from Tulane seem to do okay. Coif from Loyola and LSU do okay.

The rest is a dogfight - and it seems to be getting worse. It's a buyer's market for legal services. If you are going into a very novel field, with connections, you'll do alright. If you have enough money to start and fund your own firm (including marketing that firm) for a couple of years, you'll be alright.

If you're going to have to work in firms for 5 to 7 years to get established or want to make partner in a firm where you can make what is perceived as "lawyer" money, then you better be near the top of your class.

I don't know what else to tell you.
