Why is law school so expensive? Forum

The impoverished isn't a suspect class in your book I take it.

Lol. Not sure where you're going with this. Porsche shouldn't be able to deny their vehicles to penniless people?

Didn't say that everyone could do it.

I am just saying it isn't nearly as formulaic as TLS makes it out to be. Also, YLS aid isn't merit based

That's fine, didn't mean to make it out to be, just wanted to explain to OP, whose thread has been completely hijacked, that if you do well enough you can get some options of going to some better schools at sticker/with little money or some lower schools with money, thats all. Also, good point about yale, forgot about that probably b/c its not exactly within my reach

Correct me if I'm wrong - but isn't UMich a state uni? Hence, they get government funding?

Rusty on my con law, but it seems like any instance where government charges a fee for anything would be discrimination because there are always people that can't afford that fee. Hm...

Supply & demand.

To be honest, I'm not sure where I'm going with this - but I'm pretty sure the impoverished isn't a suspect class because of your reason.

But while we contemplate this, I'm going to go to my yacht's bar and order a martini. Poor people are suckers... letting the man hold them down!

Supply & demand.

For every jackass post, there's a jackass economist.

No insult meant directly to you - but there's always somebody that pulls this argument.

Yeah -- for the worse. UMich law school tuition was $6,000 in 1990. $20,000 in 2000. It is now $44,600 for in-state and $47,600 for out-of-state.

There were no "expensive programs" back then. If there had been, they wouldn't have provided any competitive advantage (at least not that something like a country club doesn't provide today). People would say, so what? It's just a collection of rich people, it's not the best and brightest. Who cares that non-rich people can't get into a country club?

First thing we do is... kill all the economists.

Or just pay them all minimum wage. They LOVE min. wage.

I didn't say *how* we were supposed to kill them... but yeah - minimum wage is death in our society.

I have a confession to tell you about para....

My name wasn't always ResolutePear,

In fact - before I was all resolute and stuff... I used to fap a lot.. hence my birth name: ShakesPear.


THE TRUTH COMES OUT!
You guys better be able to handle it.
