Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
I’m
hearing
much
more
from
people
who
want
to
protect
the
environment.
They
want
to
protect
civil
liberties.
They
want
to
protect
immigrants’
rights.
Students
who
want
to
fight
back
are
saying,
‘Law
school
is
the
way
to
do
it.’

Dean
Erwin
Chemerinsky

the
University
of
California
Berkeley
School
of
Law,
in
comments
given
to
Reuters,
concerning
the
dramatic
increase
in
law
school
applicants
during
Donald
Trump’s
second
presidency.
According
to
LSAC,
applicants
surged
by
18%
since
last
year,
the
highest
year-over-year
increase
since
2002,
with
more
than
76,000
applicants
vying
for
admission
to
law
school.
