Too Many Lawyers? Cut Funding, Says Legislator (National Law Journal)

Frank Lasee has a strong opinion about Wisconsin lawyers: There are too many.

He’s a state representative whose proposal to cut state funding to the University of Wisconsin Law School recently cleared the Wisconsin State Assembly.

His plan would cut the law school’s funding by $1 million this year and completely by 2010 — or about 10 percent of the school’s total funding, sparking fear of higher tuitions.
