Top Law Schools

Hello good people of the internet. I completed 1L at a T4 in Orange County CA, made top 10% and transferred to a good school with a scholarship. The law school I completed my 1L at has an attrition rate of around 50%. When looked at, 30% of the 1L class is dismissed cause they could not score high enough on their final exams.

Most of the people who failed out were unable to apply and comprehend law; however, they were given the opportunity to REPEAT 1L, this time with no scholarship money and at FULL sticker price. Most of the expelled students took this option. These people have a slim chance of passing the bar, let alone becoming competent and worthwhile attorneys.

How is this school allowed to do this? Does this seem like a shady business practice to take back these incompetent students who will likely not pass the bar and ask them to pay full sticker price ?

I used to feel bad for people that went to T4s. Now there's so much information available on the internet you really have no excuse.

It's like the lenders back in 2006 that were making stated-income loans. Yeah, yeah, the lender is terrible/predatory, but really, borrower, what the hell did you think would happen when you borrowed money you knew you'd never be able to repay?

Also, Western or Whittier?

What school gave you a transfer scholly?

So, 4 years of LS tuition (at least 3 at sticker) at a T4 and having to explain why you failed out your first 1L year. Sounds like a great idea.

Caveat emptor, sorry but I don't feel bad for them. No one promises them they'll pass. If scratch off lottery tickets aren't illegal, neither is this.
