Howdy Mr. Blue.Well I'm sold. You offering to provide evidence of dimm-o-craps educational accomplishments, not doing so and then saying you were just following the dimm-o-crap model certainly has me convinced that the republicans are the better educated party. Congrats on winning the thread.
You too.
so it's not really par for the course then.Cooligde, Coolee.....some crap like that. He mentioned that it was the worst one in the nation. It's still accredited though?
didn't think so.
law schools are ranked in tiers by US News and World Report, 1st tier being the best tier group.He mentioned tiers too....like 4th tier whatever that means.
Syracuse College of Law, where Biden graduated, this year is ranked as a 1st tier school.
Howdy Mr. Blue.
That's me!
Indeed it is par because at the end of the day he's eligible for bar exams and will share the same professional responsibilities (in a broad sense of course) as the good Mr. Biden. Chilling.
It's an ongoing thing each and every year. There are candidates like the person in my example and they get accepted without any sort of vetting.......unless the LSAT is considered vetting
How about when Biden graduated?
W pretty much lowered the bar so low that Perry more than qualifies
I had to look back at your other post.Indeed it is par because at the end of the day he's eligible for bar exams and will share the same professional responsibilities (in a broad sense of course) as the good Mr. Biden. Chilling.

It's not the course I thought was being played on.
for all practical purposes, you are only as good as the case you just finished working on, 4th tier or 1st tier.
...but if we put a 4th tier alumnus in a court room against a 1st tier alumnus, I wouldn't bet on the 4th tier......would you?
don't know, but the rankings don't fluctuate much from year to year.
How about when Biden graduated?
if it's par for the course, why does it matter to you?
I don't believe I know enough to answer that. Based on my limited knowledge, probably not. In medicine, it's been my experience that years in the profession matter. The further out from school they are, the less it will influence the outcome I'd think.
Curiosity and clarification of context.
Going to a 4th tier law school is pointless. There aren't that many good law jobs out there to begin with, and going to a 4th tier school makes it even harder to get one of those good jobs.Cooligde, Coolee.....some crap like that. He mentioned that it was the worst one in the nation. It's still accredited though?

<shrug>
It's on the house, and he walks away with his JD (provided he finishes) while being bar eligible. Not completely pointless IMO. He'll probably fall into something halfway good, even if it's outside of law.
Here's another Repug Prez wannabe who went to a ty law school:
Inside the Right-Wing Christian Law School That Brought Us Michele Bachmann
At the May “First Friday” lecture hosted by the Ins ute on the Cons ution at the Heritage Community Church in Severn, Maryland, IOTC founder Michael Peroutka presented the evening’s guest speaker, attorney Herb us, with a “Patrick Henry Award” for “his tireless and fearless telling of God’s truth to power.” us (best known for his representation of former Judge Roy Moore in his failed quest to install a 2.6-ton Ten Commandments monument in the Alabama Supreme Court building) is one of the few lawyers in America who, Peroutka noted, truly “believes God is sovereign and therefore God’s law is the only law.” For Peroutka, the Cons ution Party’s 2004 nominee for president, this was his usual spiel on God and the law.
In the late 1970s, us played an instrumental role in launching the law school at Oral Roberts University (ORU), from which GOP presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann graduated in 1986. us, who rejected his Harvard Law School education after reading the work of R.J. Rushdoony, the late founder of Christian Reconstructionism, was moved to exercise what he believes is a “dominion mandate” to “restore the Bible to legal education.” To teach, in other words, that Christianity is the basis of our law, that lawyers and judges should follow God's law, and that the failure to do so is evidence of a “tyrannical,” leftist agenda.
us’ lecture, as well as the teachings of Reconstructionists, the Cons ution Party, and the IOTC, provide a window into Bachmann’s legal education, and thus how her political career and rhetoric—so incomprehensible and absurd to many observers—was unmistakably shaped by it.
Restoring the American Jurisprudence to its “Biblical Foundations”
After launching ORU’s law school, and later helping with Regent University’s 1986 takeover and launch of a public policy program, us ran on Cons ution Party founder Howard Phillips’ presidential ticket in 1996. The stated goal of the Cons ution Party “is to restore American jurisprudence to its biblical foundations and to limit the federal government to its Cons utional boundaries.” That includes, for example, “affirm[ing] the rights of states and localities to proscribe offensive sexual behavior” (i.e., sexuality) and “oppos[ing] all efforts to impose a new sexual legal order through the federal court system” (i.e., civil unions, marriage equality, or adoption by LGBT people). It is more extreme than the Republican Party platform, to be sure, but the GOP is hardly devoid of allies of the Cons ution Party—including Sharron Angle, who ran for Senate in Nevada last year, and presidential candidate Ron Paul.

He has a full scholarship to a law school? That's nice, but the opportunity cost alone is too high a price to go there imho.
Yeah that's why he chose it as opposed to some second and third tier schools. According to him, it won't affect his job prospects much. Time will tell I guess.
We call those people "politicians."
