Dont underestimate Southern. I doing great in engineering at Southern due to the quality of the teaching.
The Law program has even better instructors.

Love when you post as well. Where would you rank Southern based on any post graduate work? Name one school that Southern is better than at anything.

As someone else posted, SU Law can be an option to mang hat do not want to wait around to retake the bar or have some financial concerns. Its still a law degree, and for someone that is from Baton Rouge, you can see why it might be more than just option.

You do have a lot of school spirit, its very interesting to say the least.

Or it could speak for the quality of student.

If you swapped southern's law students with LSU's, their ranks would pretty much swap.

not from around there

but even I know it ain't worth a damn

Check out South Texas College of Law. Cheap and better job prospects.

southern has a terrible law school

that doesn't mean that you can't be a good lawyer if you go through their program, though, because law school doesn't really do much to shape you into a lawyer or teach you how to actually practice law

if you go to SU you will be at a major disadvantage if you want to practice at a big law firm (unless you're at the very top and a minority) and you will be surrounded by a lower quality of student, but if you can get over your surroundings and the bad rep, you can still be a solid attorney

the reason why many southern grads have problems with the bar or are bad attorneys has nothing to do with southern. it has everything to do with those individuals simply not being apt for the job. if they had gone to harvard or yale, they'd still struggle in the real world.

Good friend of mine went to southern. He went on to pass the bar on his first try and is doing very well practicing personal injury in central Louisiana.

You might as well go to Mississippi College or Samford-Cumberland

That's my point. They are safe schools and are much better than Southern.

isnt MC private and expensive?

if you're going to a lower-level LS, no reason to go into lots of debt to get there

this really applies to Loyola

Fair enough, but I know you'll get a job if you go to MC. They fight for their graduates. It's impressive really. The Dean will personally help you find a job. They really take care of their own.
