The Charleston School of Law is second class and perhaps will not become accredited by the ABA. They hire professors to teach that are guilty of breach of trust. They need to do a better job. How do you teach a laywer to be honest when those that teach are not. Shame on you.

UNC Law–

SC Lawyer (who I disagree with often in his posts here) made a typo. That’s a lot different than bad grammar. People who nit-pick are annoying.

I seriously doubt this conspiracy theory, but I nonetheless worry about CSOL students who pay so much for an education while most will not be able to get commensurate employment. This is not a problem just for CSOL students, although I believe they are even more disadvantaged than grads of more established but still lower-tier law schools. See http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119040786780835602-search.html)

I’m not trying to be a CSOL hater at all, so please don’t rattle off hyper posts defending the school. There are lots of good folks and good stuff going on there. (And Although I know a few grads have gotten good jobs, there are probably fifteen times as many who struggle just to get basic jobs that might pay the student loan bills).

Now that’s just downright funny - “And here’s you license.” - way to criticize bad grammer with more bad grammer of your own SC Lawyer. Very classy post too by the way.

#10 “While this is merely a blog open for discussion by those college, law students, and attorneys who are interested in reading fitsnews for these types of things the real problem is that I guarantee some idiot from The State newspaper will be all over this and report it as another front page exclusive in the Sunday paper, once again giving the general population of SC the idea that CSOL is some dirty, corrupt institution.”

I only see one period in that train wreck. Therefore, no - I will not support a third tier, for-profit “learning institution.” Ok, you want some encouragement #10? Here goes: “Awe, cookie wookie. I’m sorry you’re not as smart as the other kids in class. Here’s a law degree anyway. And here’s you license.”

You can’t - you think they wouldn’t do something so trivial that would be so damaging to the public’s opinion of lawyers and the courts?

If this so, how come Jean Toal has become a politicos’ joke around the state - but if she is fit to judge herself, then I wouldfigure that anything else goes.

Then again, is it possible to further reduce the level of trust and respect the public has for attorneys?

Don’t you people remember when Queen Jean and Alex Sanders were young yellow dog Democrat “Young Turks” together in the legislature? #4 and #5, they are so arrogant, they didn’t think they would ever get caught. Matter of fact, due to the absolute power of the Supreme Court, they don’t think they are caught yet. The Supreme Court did it, because they can….

#8 - you’re right, this “theory” is rather ridiculous. Not only are their no facts at all to support this, but it just flat out doesn’t make any sense. While this is merely a blog open for discussion by those college, law students, and attorneys who are interested in reading fitsnews for these types of things the real problem is that I guarantee some idiot from The State newspaper will be all over this and report it as another front page exclusive in the Sunday paper, once again giving the general population of SC the idea that CSOL is some dirty, corrupt institution. It just blows my mind. Instead of supporting and encouraging the growth and success of a new institution of higher education in our State, we do what SC does best - take every opportunity tear down and stand in the way of any and all progress.

The staff at Believe It Not is used to sic(k) willie claiming to break a “big story.” So far, all he’s broken is “wind.”

sic(k) willie, show proof of wrong doing! Or, shut up!

So far, all you’ve done is make noise, make a bad smell and point your finger at others. Like a 5 year old who f@rted in church.

No one denies the stink. We just question the source.
