They are bottom tier. They will always be bottom tier. They exist to make money for administrators and tenured professors. At least with a school that has a central university, or that cares about rankings, they are confined by USNWR- they cannot simply have an open admissions policy. <br /><br />2) The students who attend these schools may simply be beyond saving. They may be unable to process any kind of warning. Or they literally have no other options- three years of federal loan money is enough to attract them regardless of their job prospects. Or they come from extremely modest backgrounds where getting into ANY LAW SCHOOL is a big fucking deal and turning down a law school would be unheard of.<br /><br />That said, we could lobby the ABA to make the bar passage standard stricter. We could start a political campaign to have the DOE review the allocation of federal loan monies to these schools. We need allies. <br /><br />But I also think we can't target all law schools. It's like any political movement- the most extreme positions may be logically sound but are also unpalatable. Take abortion- if you believe human life begins at conception, then abortion is murder and you would ban abortion in all circumstances. However, this is an unpopular view, and is not the mainstream position of the anti-abortion crowd.

You need to add in at least Art III clerkships, as a decent number of grads at the top schools do Art III clerkships. Stanford and Harvard place well over 61% of their class into elite firms--you also need to consider that a fair portion at the very top go to elite boutiques that aren't part of the NLJ250--and Yale could if so many of its class didn't want to go elsewhere.
