It's graduations that should be hard, not admissions.

1. But check out TSU's bar exam passage rate. 2. That's what they say....but that's not how it works. Law schools "teach the test" (the bar exam), most of which is "multiple choice." In many law schools, law professors prepare students for "multiple choice practice." Most were forced to abandon the Socratic method by sheer numbers. I had one 3L trial prof that was a semester in hell. He taught the way law school USED to be taught. When he retired, everybody knew that it was the end of an era. At the end, his class filled the lecture hall to capacity. He didn't know everybody's names. It horrified him. When my father attended law school, the people on either side of him did not make it past the first year. His 3L class filled up the first two rows of that same lecture hall, with an empty chair in-between. Once again, the people on either side of him.... There was no "seating chart." Back then, they looked at you, and they would ask if they wanted you to be a lawyer. The answer was usually no. When you graduated, you went to a firm where you were honed like an axe. I have my father's law school notes and another family member's notes from UT Law c. 1900. When you add my own materials -- you come to a disturbing conclusion. I am always complaining that I don't have a "form" for something. My father will pull up a chair, sigh, and start dictating. ~Aimee
