The most inappropriate choice of sources?
This news article, entitled “Lawsuits against law schools weak: legal ed experts”, caught my eye. There’s been little substantive news about these lawsuits recently, and I’m waiting to see how they turn out. According to the article, however, the lawsuits … Continue reading
Absolute lies, bad reporting, or a unique law school?

Recent grads moving home…
