Indiana Tech Law School Forum

Some of my favorite gems from "The Brief" (their newsletter):


A 1L describes how she ended up at Indiana Tech:
I told myself that if I could conquer Half Dome, I would finally quit my job and focus on getting into law school ... When I got to the top, I screamed, “I made it and I’m going to law school!”

loled at this too

She writes it as if she climbed up the face of Half Dome. It's basically just a hike up the side. It can take a few hours, but it is not hard. My grandma did it with me when I was a kid.

A totally necessary interview with the Registrar:
Q. What book are you currently reading?
A. No books but several magazines. I love People and Essence. If I hear about a really good book or series I will read it, like the Kimberly Lawson series. Dean cummings gave me a book, “The New Jim Crow.” That one is a slow read; I will read some, put it down, and then pick it up later.

Translation= the book kinda sucked and I am not reading it, but don't want to offend dean cummings.

I go to a top 20 and the school has pretty tight lips and is very measured about everything(maybe being over 100 years old has something to do with it).

How are they curving 15 students?

We shouldn't be too critical of Indiana Tech. The alumni could make an excellent paralegal, legal assistant, or legal secretary. And that is what we really need right now. More debt saddled law students who cannot find work.

It doesn't seem as though funds from enrollment could come close to covering the opening and operating costs.

What happens if the school goes bankrupt before the students graduate?

For one, their federal loans may be eligible for a full discharge: http://studentaid.ed.gov/repay-loans/fo ... ion/charts

However, I cannot find any information on whether that impacts program or individual school closures, or whether the wider university itself has to go under. It is probably the latter.

Adam Lamparello

Indiana Tech Law Prof. Adam Lamparello writes snotty poor-little-me memoir about his disillusionment with practicing law, hookers, cocaine, his church, his frat, his girlfriends, and his alleged eating disorder.

(Still doesn't compare to andré douglas pond cummings, but it is still mildly hilarious.)

"To me, the world rewarded shallow, materialistic, selfish, and phony people who didn’t have any sense of morals or values. . . . The "haves" don’t really help the "have-nots." Instead, the "haves" want more and more."

I think like 60% of everyone in the world gets depressed by this thought at some point in their lives. It's a common refrain among depressed teenagers. A much smaller percentage uses that depression as a justification to be a horrible person to others. An even smaller percentage writes a memoir trolling for sympathy after the fact, as if they suffered some type of unique hardship.

Just sayin'.

Hahahaha. This thread is the best.

Yeah, it looks like the only thing this guy's ever done or experienced that would warrant any kind of depression is teach at Indiana Tech Law School.

Did anybody notice that their newsletter thing has a story on the front page that ends with "After sorting through more than..." and says go to page 5 for the rest? Well I did, and it continues "applications, Alexander was chosen."

"After sorting through more than applications, Alexander was chosen."

What else did they sort through to find their dean? Piles of manure?

Full disclosure: My law school is a single building, and I got lost for fifteen minutes going up 6 different staircases and a maze of corridors looking for a professor's office.

Well I guess we found Indiana Tech's competitive advantage. It's good if you don't like getting lost in your law school

Please post other competitive advantages that you can think of. I'll start:

Indiana Tech is a great law school for if you want to know every student's name but you're not very good with names.

ITTTT is a great law school if you favor an experiential approach to your Hip Hop Civil Procedure class.
ITTTT is a great law school if you think Cooley students are a bunch of prestige whores.

In my opinion ITTTT is a great school if you decide to make large worthless investments in moments of euphoria. (i.e., climbing half dome).

I wonder if ITTTT will try to sue us for defamation now like Cooley adding "in my opinion for clarification."

Indiana Tech is a great school if you want to be guaranteed to be one of the top 15 students in your class.


Question: why does a school with 15 students need a registrar? Couldn't they just make a list on a notepad? It is like a one room schoolhouse, not a real school.

Filling 100 externships with 30 students is challenging.

Don't forget the anti-gravity room shown on page 21:

Also from the viewbook (page 26): rules of comma usage do not apply to the esteemed academics of Indiana Tech! That, or they actually intended to describe Indiana TTTech as only "kind of [a] law school."

Talk about truth in advertising.

[jarofsoup]

Anyone want to compile a list of typos in the advertising materials and send it to ATL? Or ITLS's dean.

Isn't your school the one with the Hogwarts' style moving staircases?

They also have a YouTube channel.

That explains a lot.
