For the first six months or a year, therefore, the average law school graduate may expect to receive little more than his "keep." After that his progress will be nearly proportionate to his ability, making due allowance for "the breaks of the game." By and large, with a proper accounting for the accidents of life and the inherent infirmities of individuals, the average law school graduate may look forward with reasonable certainty to a comfortable livelihood within...
