Could you write about Phsciys so I can pass Science class?

Why does a public sohcol have to be judged exclusively by contribution to public services? Couldn't the public good be keeping really smart lawyers in the state where they can help the economy (perhaps as transaction cost engineers or perhaps as entrepreneurs with legal training) or serve as political and intellectual leaders after getting private sector training? Private start-up sohcols can't manufacture the prestige associated with even an average state's flagship sohcol and therefore can't adequately fill this gap in attracting students over the short-term. It's true that a state can use lawyers from other states or attract native lawyers to return home after going to other state's law sohcols, but these may be more costly or unsuccessful than keeping them at the local sohcol in the first place. Moreover, the sohcol itself may be a net plus to the economy by providing jobs, attracting students as temporary and potential long-term residents, helping vendors, assisting real estate markets etc. It may be that there are more efficient industries to subsidize, but the measure of the law sohcol's success would still be the ultimate economic and social return (which is much broader than just the starting salary of the or the number of public interest jobs assumed by students). Even on a narrow public interest model, private sector lawyers help with legislation or do pro bono and non-profit work years after they graduate. It would be difficult to capture that return in a one year measure.
