You can't consolidate an entire law school, hardly any of their students would meet to standard for acceptance into LSU.

Can you imagine the national firestorm if the State tried to shut down the law school that was created specifically for racism?

I remember I was blessed with an exchange student from Southern one semester at LSU; luckily it was in Alston Johnston's class, so she got completely destroyed every time she was called on. He eventually grew impatient and wouldn't even call on her.

Just a reminder that shutting down an entire law school is too "disenfranchising" for modern tastes.

I know we have a lot of Southern grads on here; what do you think?

The state tried to merge SUNO with UNO and received a huge backlash for it.

The graduation rate at SUNO is abysmal.

Segregation is over. All you have to do is meet LSU law school requirements. How is that racist?

I haven't heard a single learned person calling for the shut down of Southern (BR) or Southern Law School.

People are demanding that SUNO be shut down, Grambling merged with Tech, and a lot of other schools demoted to 2 year community colleges that feed into the major 4 year schools of La Tech, LSU, Southern, ULL, SELU, and UNO.

Why merge Grambling and not Southern with LSU? Grambling is nicer than Southern.

There is nothing illegal about shutting it down, so I guess you are relying on the political firestorm that might erupt if they announce a planned closure.

I'd hope we'd elect politicians with more backbone than that, but I guess that's wishful thinking.

Personal opinion, SOuthern Law needs to go. It's a bottom of the barrel law school, and most of their graduates end up working in state government or low rent PI jobs.

We should do away with racial quotas and go to a completely merit based system.

Anything else is discriminatory.

Can we just get a "Shut all the colleges down" megathread instead of 3 new ones a day about the same fricking thing?

There are more Southern Law Alumni in the legislature than any other law school.

There are more Southern Law Alumni working as attorney's for the state than any other law school.

There are Southern Law Alumni working as attorney's for local government entities than any other law school.

Southern Law Center is not going anywhere.

So there are mor Southern Law grads working for the state. I didn't stutter.

That's the problem. We are educating people who have no business being in law school to run our state.

These dolts shouldn't be allowed anywhere near our state government.

Awwwww look someone is all butt hurt because southern law school sucks and might be closed. I don't mean sucks just cause its southern but more because the standards to get in are lower and produce less qualified attorneys.

But then again, every city does need public pretenders. I mean defenders.

Exhibit A.

That's some fine English you Southern lawyers know.

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.
