Few Hispanics in law school
Tagged: graduation rate, populationPosted on: March 9th, 2007“Only an estimated 3.9 percent of this nations lawyers are Hispanic. Its a group that represents 13 percent of the nations population, more than 40 million people. Yet, even as this number is rising rapidly, Hispanic enrollment in our nations law schools is falling off.
There are a number of reasons for this. Some, such as poverty and consequently low graduation rates from high schools and colleges, have little to do with the law schools themselves. But the law schools, and the American Bar Association, are playing a major role in keeping Hispanics out of the legal profession.”
