"Howard University School of Law was ranked No. 31 on this year's Go-To Law School List. Some 15.04% of its 2010 graduates got NLJ 250 jobs, and it was the third-cheapest school among the 50, charging $24,490 in 2010 for tuition."

I just read this article today. It's from an issue of March 2011.

Considering that 80% of the school is black it makes sense. Howard is a good school and biglaw firms have minority recruitment.

This has been discussed to death on these boards. That being said, my pointing this out probably makes me "anti-urm," right Bruce?
