“Is law school a good investment?” Law Student. July 22nd, 2007: “In short, law school is expensive, but its value far exceeds the mere value of a lawyer’s salary.”

Derek Roberti. “Should I Go To Law School as a Financial Investment?” Should I go to law school? Blog. May 23, 2010: “would it ever make sense to invest money in something that yields a negative financial return (or perhaps just a poor positive return)?
