The good news is that the majority of kids coming out of law school ARE conservative.

What law schools have a predominance of conservative faculty, other than Northwestern and the University of Virginia? I suppose Regent University in Virginia Beach, VA, which is owned by Pat Robertson, would qualify. I understand Tom Monaghan, the ownr of the Domino's Pizza chain, is in the process of establishing a conservative oriented law school. Does anybody know of any others?

They are? Ya coulda fooled me. I happen to know people that prove otherwise, even some people that went to law school as conservative, but now to make a living they defend drug dealers, pimps and whores. Not to mention chase ambulances.

Lawyers are a huge part of the problem in America today. We don't need more, we need less of them. (sorry lawgirl and any other good freepers who happen to be barristers) And we need good conservative ones.

I've always advised kids to stay in school no mater what, but these days from what I hear them say I tempted to tell the the get out and get a GED later on.

A law student from the University of Alabama (here in Tuscaloosa) organized a support the troops rally on campus. We attended. The law student spoke at the rally, and told us that one of his professors had threatened to have him "investigated" for organizing the rally. So much for diversity.

In other words, the fact that they all think alike (LIBERAL!) is hidden by the appearance of all looking different. The democrat ideal of "inclusion", "diversity", or "looking like America" has been achieved. Now, as far as "thinking" like America....

[Cicero]

The law schools are a huge problem. They are turning out lawyers who are to the profession of law much as today's journalists are to the profession of journalism. Which is to say that they are mostly left-wing ideological liars. There is very little respect for the basic principles of common law, for natural law, for the constitution, or for any of the traditional guidelines. Fortunately some of them are too focused on making money to bother corrupting the law any further. Sure, there are some good lawyers out there, but very few of them learned any real moral principles or respect for the constitution in law school.

You're clearly on drugs. I and the other three public Republicans at my law school were practically ridden out of the school on a rail.

I'm afraid you are mistaken. The legal profession is overwhelmingly leftist, and we don't get that way sometime after law school; my colleagues entered law schools leftists and came out the same way. The student body is overwhelmingly leftist, and very intolerant of anything but leftist ideas.

[Henrietta]

I think both I and homeagain balkansvet would like to know where you got the idea that people coming out of law school were conservative. Can you explain?

[HitmanLV]

I dunno about that. When I graduated Law School I expected the worst (leftist dominance), and was pleased to find out that the split along the student body was close to 50-50, which was healthy. But I don't think the majority of law school grads nationwide are conservative.
