Class of 2030: 1 yr 9 mo left after you graduate
AI is taking over the legal research, drafting, and document review that junior associates and judicial law clerks used to do, so large firms' entry-level classes shrink around 2032. Bar admission and signing responsibility can't protect headcount, but they slow adoption, and a JD doesn't guarantee passing the bar exam.

Major lifespan is the time left until AI is expected to start shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates. It doesn’t mean the major will disappear or that everyone will lose their job.
