i'm not sure you bagged on southern at all. in fact, i felt like your post was stupid, based solely on the fact that you even had southern in your personal rankings. telling anyone to go to southern is awful, awful advice. when you read national articles about how there are too many law schools cranking out too many lawyers (although only 65 of 139 july 2012 sulc bar examinees were able to pass the LA bar exam), they are talking about school exactly like southern.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I do not disagree about your comments about too many lawyers and SULC being a part of the problem. But if you don't think Loyola, Tulane and LSU are also culpable to an extent, then you are a fool. I will disagree that my post was stupid. SULC is not the ideal school to go to and is a pretty bad idea unless you fall into one of the following categories:
1. Going to take over a family practice or have a job setup in with a firm already under whatever circumstances.
2. You want to prosecute.
3. You want to work in government and have an in there.
4. You just really want to be a lawyer but can't get into LSU.

I'm not sure its wiser to go to Tulane and/or Loyola at what they cost a year (I believe somewhere between 15-20) in those circumstances than SULC.

There are far too many variables to flat out say that going to Southern is a bad idea. If someone is willing to bust arse, make the grades, and network, they can be successful anywhere.
