The data shows that applications are up by 35.5 percent over this time last year. That gap is likely to narrow by the end of the cycle, since this year’s applicants got a head start: In 2023, law schools delayed opening their applications in order to review admissions practices in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision on affirmative action.

It seemed impossible to justify its existence at a time when higher education was focusing on workforce alignment and the employability of graduates.
