“New data
‘unmasks’ schools, says US News law school ranking czar,” by Bloomberg Law.
Any thoughts out there about this comment? It seemingly gives credit to US News for acquiring new data to unmask the true law
school employment figures:
“The
new data “unmasked” that some of those schools had a relatively small number of
their students taking full-time long-term jobs that require a JD, Morse tells
Bloomberg Law’s Lee Pacchia.”
Or this non mea culpa statement?
“As for the power of US News’ rankings, which some deans blame for legal
education’s woes, Morse says, ‘US News isn’t the ABA . . . We’re not
responsible for the cost law school, the state of legal employment, the impact
that the recession has had on hiring, or the fact that there are 10 or 20 new
law schools that have opened over the past couple of decades. And we’re not
responsible for the imbalance of jobs to graduates.’”
“Law School Affordability,” by Claudia Johnson (Alton Daily News/WBGZ Radio)
This article reports on various recommendations by the Illinois State Bar Association related to law school affordability. This particular recommendation should give some law school deans heartburn:
“Rather than allowing all accredited law schools to enroll students receiving federal student loans, Congress should restrict federal loan eligibility to schools whose graduates meet certain employment and debt repayment outcomes.”
Evidence of the coming unraveling: USNWR now posturing as part of the scambusting and law school transparency movement.

ReplyDeleteTrue.
But you are responsible for being a vehicle that you knowingly allowed law schools to do all of the above.
This is a "guns don't kill people, people kill people" BS argument. US News is the gun. On its own, it's just a tool. But it allows others to do some disgusting things. Morse knows his hands are not clean. US News for at least 15 years has publicized fraudulent data and he knows it.
"What we are responsible for is our multiple home values, European vacations -- with side trips to Asia -- and our legacy to our children. And we're responsible to those we've hired as faculty, but to a lesser degree because those people are interchangeable as well..."
ReplyDeleteIt's starting to turn into "The Law Schools, The Publications, and The ABA." Three gunslingers, turning their guns on each other with student loan money in a JD's grave.

It's clear that the law schools are Tuco, but which of the others is Blondie and which one is Angel Eyes?
Deleteminor point - can you guys make your fonts consistent? some are big, some tiny. hard to read sometimes.
ReplyDeleteGood point.
DeleteWhich do you prefer? I've been using "normal" but there is a button for larger and smaller. It all looks the same in the area you post.

the texas state bar is still colluding with the law school scammers. And in fact the texas state bar even extorts license holders--if you stop making the dues payments, your public bar page states that your license "has been suspended due one of the following reasons: 1) behind in child support payments 2) behind in dues ...etc"
ReplyDeleteIn other words, if you do not fork over the protection money/dues, the texas state bar will defame you until you give them their money. Scamming thieves, they are, just like the law school scammers.
