ABOUT MSLAW

Massachusetts School of Law's mission is to provide a high quality, practical, and affordable legal education to deserving persons who have been unfairly excluded from law school.

The school seeks to give these persons access to the societal advancement that is available, in law and other fields, to people with legal degrees.

To accomplish its mission, Massachusetts School of Law serves persons from working class backgrounds, minorities, mid-life individuals who seek to change careers, middle class people and immigrants.

Massachusetts School of Law gives individuals from all these groups a rigorous, useful, affordable legal education so that they can improve their lives and better serve their communities.

NO LSAT REQUIRED

Massachusetts School of Law interviews every applicant who wishes to attend the school. We believe the true measure of a person’s capabilities to be a good lawyer cannot be measured solely by sterile statistical data, which can never measure drive, dedication, obstacles overcome, perseverance, and a good heart.

In some circumstances, there is a second interview with the entire Admissions Committee. The Committee also reviews an applicant’s entire pertinent background, including all college grade-point averages, the specific courses in which an applicant did well or poorly in college, improvement over time in college, the possession of a graduate degree and the grades obtained in graduate school, and the nature of any experience and accomplishments in the work force.

Also, because of the considerable criticisms of the LSAT, Massachusetts School of Law does not consider the LSAT when making admissions decisions. Instead, it considers an essay test that the school itself has developed and most importantly, it is read and graded by a full time MSLAW professor who, based upon years of practical and academic experience, is well qualified to assess an applicant’s ability to think and write well. The requirement of a mandatory interview, the review of an applicant’s entire record in school and the work force, and the essay aptitude test enable the Admissions Committee to identify worthy students who would be denied admission to traditional law schools simply because of their LSAT scores.

But this guy really is already done for in the legal community.

And get a load of this...he actually lists this on his resume as if it's some kind of real skill:
