How long do you have? These schools are so terrible they have either been sued, are about to be sued, or should be sued. Don't even jump at the scholarship. This is Coastal's grading curve for first-year courses.

A, A- 15%
B+, B, B- 25%
C+, C, C- 45%
D+, D, F 15%

http://www.fcsl.edu/career-services/grading-policy

A B- is a 2.67. If 5% of the class has a B- average, that means you will have to be in the top 35% to keep the scholly. And I would double-down on my 100K in law school debt that they place scholarship students disproportionately in one section (grading them against each other) so that more will lose the scholly. Run away.

I disagree while I would not recommend going to stetson without a scholarship. I don't see how you can agree with suing stetson when its been around longer than any law school in the state before all the others clogged the market and its regional market is in shambles.... No where does stetson promise you a job... If they should be sued every humanities department in this country should be sued.

Attending any of these schools is a bad decision unless you have a legal job lined up after graduation.

+1. Stetson is the only semi-respectable option and that's when a full ride is involved. Sticker for these schools? Lolno.
