How would you reform legal education in America?

This question is directed at the process of obtaining a law degree (J.D. or equivalent), taking the bar exam and finding employment in the profession. It seems that finding employment is a major challenge for a lot of law graduates and attorneys. Medical students at least have an internship after graduation. How can the legal education system help bring down the unemployment rate? How else can it improve?

Cut the number of students by 90% with cross section from all undergrad programs. Tighten bar exams. Modify study so it is not just memorizing cases but requires thinking.
Major problem is most law schools let everyone in and then pass them through so they can get the tuition. 40 years ago the deans wanted everyone to pass the bar and get a job. Now, they don't care.

From my limited knowledge, the legal profession is run by the "good old boy" network. You really need to know someone in the business to get the best positions. There are also too darn many attorneys. You know, you can develop your own internship by volunteering at the State's attorneys office, the ACLU, and so forth. So I'd look for volunteer opportunities.

Make the tort system "loser pays"
