That's the funny thing about a hierarchy. There's always someone above you. Texas Law grads have no respect for LSU law grads, Ivy Law grads have no respect for top public school law grads. I passed the bar the first time with my Southern education - something about 20% of LSU and Tulane folks fail to do. I have a job I like. That's all a school is supposed to provide.

Because your thread is stupid. Because shutting down a law school that provides a valuable service is a dumb suggestion. Because Southern produces some fine attorneys. Because you're a bad poster.

Sure they do, but on average, many Southern Law graduates will never pass the bar exam. That's a problem.

In any other context, a course whereby 2/3 of the students cannot pass the exit examination after 3 years of school is not providing a valuable service.

Aside from the fact it would severely reduce the number of attorneys, many who end up on the government tit (not that those jobs would go away, we would just have competent attorneys in their position, ultimately improving Louisiana), any funding Louisiana taxpayers funnel to SU Law would no longer be wasted.

And you can't honestly say that a 30% bar passage rate and the majority of Southern's product are not abysmal. You may be a fine attorney. Most Southern grads are not.
