OT Gulf States Lawyers; Heard Some Rumors MC Law is On the Steep Decline...
Posted on 10/16/16 at 10:29 am
Posted on 10/16/16 at 10:29 am
I've heard some talk from older alumni that MC Law has made some recent and drastic changes to their leadership which is causing the school to death spiral into an unrecoverable obscurity.
Not that MC has ever been a top-tier law school, but I think it has always had a decent reputation, at least in Louisiana, and I'm sure it's not that bad in Mississippi given it's only the second law school in the entire state.
I've known several fine attorneys who went there and ended up practicing in Louisiana.
Can any recent grads speak on the changes of late? Just had some drinks with an alumni from 2010 who spilled his thoughts on the school, and basically it boils down to changes to Dean, who in turn is trying to turn MC Law into the next HBCU law school. Seems to me their student base was always comprised mostly of gulf area students who were good students but couldn't get into LSU, Ole Miss, or Tulane.
Any ideas?

MC lawyers > Ole Miss lawyers
This has been the case for many many years.

Could be. If i see any grads from MC law after 2010 i think less of them until proven otherwise.

Most law schools are suffering at the moment. Struggling to fill enrollments. Slow job market for graduates and anything unde top 20% starting out at not much more than a 4 year degree with heavy student debt

1) Law schools in many places are struggling.
2) I don't know how colleges like MC, Loyola, Spring Hill, etc are still around. They charge an insane amount of money for an at-best average education. They don't have the alumni base that a Tulane or Rice has, that they can tap for donations and help their students get jobs.
As far as their law school, I am good friends since high school with a girl that went to law school there, and she seems like a decent attorney and practices in a small firm in NOLA. She's definetly not a high powered big shot, but she's no dummy either.

Doesn't Mississippi College have a program for Louisiana lawyers? That should tell you all you need.
They couldn't get in to LSU, Tulane or Loyola, so they went out of state to learn our state's law.

BS.
Ole Miss law school is stuck up in Oxford. Many want to go to law school in a state capitol where there are more job opportunities. it's also much more convenient since more people actually live in Jackson.

I always thought it was interesting that the state school in the state capital and largest metro area in the state (Jackson St) was so terrible. JSU is an awful, awful school. My sister who lives in Jackson and doesn't have much money went to school there after getting her first two years in at Hinds, and not only was she one of the few white people there, but her degree is basically worthless.

Rosenblatt was the engine. I didn't go there but he would be at every function lobbying jobs for specific students. I admire the man a lot. I know he's an ambassador of some sort now but I don't know how the law school is doing.

Loyola places more students in better firms in New Orleans than Tulane does...and beat them this year in bar passage. Loyola alumni base is MUCH stronger that Tulane's is. Everybody that goes to Tulane leaves the state. Posted on 10/16/16 at 12:58 pm to Jim Smith
Doesn't Loyola rank almost last nationally every year in job placement and roi?

Loyola places a lot of grads in good NOLA firms. They definitely out-place their rank on that front. The very top firms in NOLA are still going to prefer Tulane students that can show connections to LA.
Now if you are a from somewhere on the east coast and have no connection to NOLA, you may get passed over, but don't act like these firms and hankering for Loyola grads when they have options at Tulane.
A few of the really LA-centric firms might rate them equal though.
