From what I remember of freshman year, I agree.

Will we still have to take state bar exams or will this be a UW-Madison type deal?

I will leave TLS over this. It is an important issue to me.

Below median has to take the bar.

That should be a universal policy

I don't support closing of law schools. Without TTT's I would not have had the opportunity to attend law school at all. Attending law school ended up being the best thing to ever happen in my life and I legit am grateful for my original school making it possible for me to attend and prove myself. I realize I am in the minority here but that is how I feel. My opinion is obviously biased because it all worked out for me in the end.

I think a much better system would be making it harder to get loans rather than closing schools.

Uhm, so instead of closing bad schools with bad prospects, you'd rather make it more difficult for people who barely get into great schools to afford it?

FWIW, poor people aren't as smart as people who aren't poor, so I think this makes sense.

I worked on this today at the office, and here is what I think the number of law schools should be capped at.
\int \frac{dx}{1+ax}=\frac{1}{a}\ln(1+ax)+C \ , where x = number of law jobs, a = total outstanding loans, and C = US news rank – 47.





The answer is clearly...42.

TBF, the widespread availability of loans is what caused the proliferation of shit schools in the first place.

I guess it would depend on what he meant by "making it harder." If he means on the individual borrower, I think that would be unfair to cut out the main source of funding for non-wealthy students. But I do think that schools should be limited in how much loan funding they can receive per year, or being required to take a stake in the loan process by being required to take on some of the burden of defaulting loans.

Yeah, nothing helps underprivileged kids out of poverty more than life-crushing debt and no job prospects.

Hence why I suggested in another thread that creating academic requirements to get a student loan wouldn't be the worst idea, as schools would then need to up their requirements to keep pace. This would then weed out shittt schools because they wouldn't be able to accept 2.3/147 students because those students wouldn't be able to pay tuition. It would save the student from soul-crushing debt and although it may seem cruel to destroy their dreams, it would be doing them a favor. Or, it will force them to strive for something greater than mediocrity and attend a worthwhile school.

A poster responded to that by saying that it would have a racially disparate impact. Well, under the current system, all we are doing is handing out hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt to already impoverished people to attend schools that they won't be able to get a job out of. So how are we helping them get out of the chains of poverty by pushing them deeper in poverty under the current system?

Because it doesn't matter where you went to school, just pass the bar in the state you want to work in. They can't get that ticket otherwise.
