The 2024 election has sparked a noticeable surge in law school applications, with a reported increase of over 20% this year. This phenomenon, reminiscent of the 'Trump bump' observed during his first term, has been highlighted by admissions consultant Anna Ivey, who notes that many individuals feel motivated to pursue legal education due to political events. Additionally, she attributes some of this rise to recent mass layoffs of government workers. However, concerns loom over financial risks associated with Trump's dismantling of the Department of Education's loan programs, which could impact students' ability to finance their education effectively.
Ever since the 2024 election and the legal turmoil that began shortly after President Donald Trump's reelection, thousands of college graduates have been inspired to go to law school.
The last time we saw such a spike in law school applicants was during Trump's first term. We called that the 'Trump bump,' and I suspect we're having another 'Trump bump' now.
