I've been hedging my investments in charged-off accounts by going long on for-profit educators. I'm planning on being up at least $12, so I'm good.

Surely the Alabama, West Virginia or Tennesee bar has to be easier than the California bar? And equally useless?
But that's still state-level accreditation. I don't think there's an online law school yet accredited by any state. And Cali allows completely *un*accredited law school grads take the exam

Mass. has a couple of unaccredited law schools here, and they always seem to be merging together, separating, and otherwise trying to find a reason to exist. But they work hard to keep bar admission from being limited to ABA accredited law schools.

They brag about things like 60% placement rates, but include in their successful placements ex-cops who hang shingles out their back door for the perps they used to arrest. Yes, those guys are "law firm partners" right smack out of law school.

The bulk of their student body seems to consist of former cops and ex-cons. The cops are all drawing disability, and like to have long lunch time conversations where they compare their fake limps.

A few more strikes and you could have rolled a perfect game.

IQ is subjective, you'd have been laughed out of Pennypacker for the above. We bragged in LSAT scores.

Confidential to vuvuzelanyc: The pass rate for all takers of the July 2009 bar exam was 56.4%. The pass rate for graduates of unaccredited law schools was 15.8%. The only good news in this is that the multiple-retesters drag down the stats -- the 117 first-timers had a 26.5% pass rate, while the 287 retesters had an 11.5% pass rate. Link.

I'm shorting every bank backing Mercedes-Benz Credit. I'll be up $15k. Which, when inflation hits will allow me to buy three, maybe four cases of really good beer.

Check page 7--it appears there is a good school and a bad school. The good school's first timer rate was higher than the ABA-approved U. of La Verne College of Law.

It appears that the only way to guarantee passage is to go to Yale Law School. Hank, did they talk about that in Pennypacker? I'm sure it came up in Silliman.

So did you own the car parked in Harvard Square years ago with the plate reading LSAT 48?

I love these categories. "Distance Learning"? "Correspondence"? Sounds like some schools have yet to catch on to the beauty of the Interwebs.

I have an IQ of 68 and it is 95 degrees out, but I feel good about myself, and that is what is important.

A big part of their net assets is the potential recovery from the ABA on antitrust suits, no?
