They talked about the cost issue a lot in the article, how it allowed "non-traditional" students to get law degrees.
The thing is, though, that there are a lot of "non-traditional" students in my program, at a pretty solid state school. The evening program is a lot of work if you're working full time - but, then again, a law degree (or any graduate degree, for that matter) is supposed to be a lot of work.
I feel like part of it is that it's sold as some sort of shortcut to a graduate degree. There shouldn't be any shortcut.
