Ohio Law Schools
An article in the Plain Dealer today about the massive Ohio budget deficit and ways that the legislature can close the $3 billion dollar gap.
http://www.cleveland.com/politics/in...0272118710.xml One possible item is closing one of Ohio's public law schools. Thoughts? Suggestions on which one? aV |

Akron Cincinnati (I don't know why I had it in my head they were private) Cleveland State Ohio State Toledo Let's take two right off the top. Ohio State (Come on, it's OHIO State, for god's sake). Located in the capital, and furthermore, as everyone knows, they are the be all and end all to all outside the state, and many within. Lower Tier I school -- I don't think so. Though I cannot confirm this, I'm pretty sure they would send the highest number of grads out of state compared to the other schools. Cincinnati - Taft's alma mater? Tier 2 School. One of the larger markets. Don't think so. That leaves on the short list: Akron Cleveland State Toledo What are the objective criteria they will use to determine which, if any close? Population? Size of Market served? Bar Pass Rates? Alternatives Recent Investment in Physical Structures Alumni involved in politics, particularly the General Assembly. U.S. News rankings -- can these really be construed as objective? :rolleyes: If you look at physical distribution throughout the state, the amount of public law schools does not seem excessive. Most of the major population centers in the state are served by one public law school. With respect to Cleveland State, they recently built a law library, I believe they may graduate the largest number of students every year (though Ohio State may graduate more, I'm not sure). Tier 3 school. It's also serving the major legal market in the state. They have a ton of graduates in the local judiciary and local politics. Bar pass rates are a bit lower than some schools, (but higher than others) plus the area is served by Case, so, I don't know. Although for my money, I'd rather avoid paying $20 K a year for an education if possible. Plus, I'm sure most of their grads stay local. Akron - Interestingly enough, I see they quoted Dean Aynes in the article. My guess is they may be sweating it more than most. The facilities are decent, though the library sucks. Smaller market, though larger than Toledo. A fair amount of politicos that are alums. Has the reputation of a good bar passage rate, at least that's the hype. Pretty sure most of their grads stay local. Loss of the school would be a blow to the University and a town that has taken a lot of hits over the past 25 years. No real competition locally, unless you count the Cleveland area. My guess is that that could enter into the calculus. By the way, I looked at the U.S. News rankings. When did Akron slip to a Tier 4? I thought they were Tier 3 until relatively recently. Maybe it's their shitty high-school like library facilities. Toledo - Tier 3 school. I really don't know enough about them. Are there any other schools close to them? I hate to say it, but UT always seems like an afterthought with regard to the attention it receives. Does this make them a candidate? I'm not sure. I think the fact that they serve a more "remote" part of the state could favor keeping them open. spooky(just my thoughts but then again, what do I know?)fish |

i'd suspect that akron would be the most likely law school to get closed - out of the public schools, cleveland marshall and akron are the only two that are close together and cleveland marshall is much larger so should have more alumni support. |

if either of you guys care, the new usnews rankings are now out and posted on the usnews website. as far as i can tell the main difference in this year's rankings is that they now give numerical ranks to the top 100 and have "top 100," "third tier," and "fourth tier." which kind of makes the us news rankings even more absurd - but i guess that cincinatti (ranked 51st) and case western (ranked 57th) are probably happy to have numerical ranks rather than being just "2nd tier."
oh and apparently akron moved back into the third tier and cleveland marshall dropped down to the 4th tier. i didn't notice any other changes in ranks of ohio law schools. i guess ohio state changed, they are now at 38th. ms. naughty diplomat :cool: |

how much state support does the state of ohio give the law schools? i'd assume that most of the state money could probably be replaced with increases in fees and tuition - and given how many people want to become lawyers they would probably still attract students. ms. naughty diplomat :cool: |

public division: osu - $10,826 cincinatti - $9,622 akron - $9,386 toledo - $9,054 cleveland-marshall - $9,048 private division: case western - $25,300* [!] dayton - $21,896 ohio northern - $19,800 capital - $18,009 *2003-04 figures so its not a true comparitive list, but i found the other figures compiled together and i don't want to take the time to look at the other law school's websites to get current figures for them. lets see, when you add in living expenses, books, etc., even the public law schools in ohio are over $20K. and case western predictably wins the prize for highest tuition. ms. naughty diplomat |

Ohio Public Law Schools Dodge Budget Bullet
Today's PD has an article on the budget wranglings in Columbus. The legislative proposal to drop one of the Public Law Schools has been dropped.
http://www.cleveland.com/news/plaind...0993281580.xml I get the feeling from the tenor of the article that it wasn't as big a concern to the non-attorney types wandering around out there. spookyfish |

"Other late additions to the plan included several nods to social conservatives that could be helpful to gain votes, including declassification of some unionized state employees, creation of a governor's office dedicated to faith-based nonprofits, and elimination of a voter registration program that targets the poor." Social conservatives who want stuff like this really REALLY bug the crap outta me. Of course, these are the same whackadoos who want intelligent design taught in public schools. aV |

however, mr. violins, my efforts to not be naughty are not for my benefit, because i enjoy being punished as much as i enjoy being naughty - in fact if anything i enjoy the punishment more than i enjoy the misbehaviour (as long as the punishment includes a spanking, of course). however, mr. violins, i suspect that you may not enjoy the punishment that mrs. violins would give you nearly as much as you enjoy being naughty - for one thing mrs. violins may choose to use a less pleasurable form of punishment than the type of punishment that i face when i am naughty. so, mr. violins, given what a bad girl i am, and how the consequences of me being a bad girl are much likely to be worse for you than they are for me, you probably don't want to encourage naughtiness from me. :kisscheek ms. naughty diplomat |
