Welcome
to
our
daily
feature, Quote
of
the
Day.
Their
enrollment
going
up
is
surprising.
It’s
just
been
going
down,
down,
down
for
the
last
several
years.

Tiffane
Cochran,

AccessLex
Institute,
in
comments
given
to
the
ABA
Journal,
concerning
the
growing
number
of
male
students
enrolled
in
JD
programs.
This
is
the
first
time
since
2010
that
the
number
of
male
enrollees
has
increased,
climbing
to
50,900
in
2025,
compared
to
49,000
in
2024.
Women
still
dominate
when
it
comes
to
JD
enrollment,
making
up
56%
of
all
law
students
(67,400
enrollees
in
2025).
