T...Yes, there are a lot of false statements here. <br /><br />There are four UMass schools, but Dartmouth is the only law school in the UMass system. UMass School of Law is the first public interest school in MA. <br /><br />It is provisionally accredited, and on track to be ranked. It is a great law school and nearly 20 grand less than law schools in the area. Anyone with any questions should contact the law school. I am a 2L at UMass Law and I know I made a great choice.

One student means all students are crap? Be...Wow! One student means all students are crap? Better yet, that the education provided by the institution where this person attended classes is to blame for his actions, and this equates to a "shitty" school?<br />Hmm... So I guess your parents are shitty since this blog is full of inaccuracies and negativity. We all pick and choose what we speak about and this represents exactly where we are psychologically. Why such desire to inform the world of your disdain for UMDL? What is your purpose? Are you trying to dissuade people from going to this school because you care about them?<br />All the propaganda about law school is rooted in one thing: money. In my opinion, the LSAT was created under the premise that one cannot prepare for it. The fact that people do so actually flaws the test. Furthermore, the primary claim made about the LSAT is its accuracy in predicting first year performance. Funny thing is this cannot be tested as those with low LSAT scores are not accepted into the same schools as those with higher scores. This idea can only be tested within small ranges, and excludes a population which could create a lot of issues for the test makers, and the exclusiveness under which all the "high tier" schools operate.<br />UMDL is not a part of this industry (yet), and is producing educated students. It's not about which school you attend, but what you do with the education. It's comical how many young aspiring attorneys create so many falsehoods to inflate their egos. UMDL will get its accreditation, and become one of the better schools in the state in time just like every other respectable law school in the country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452025352696285200.post-44206542711089219632011-10-20T19:41:43.274-04:002011-10-20T19:41:43.274-04:00Retards, most of the people making comments have n...Retards, most of the people making comments have no idea what law is and how it is practice. Sure, Ivy league schools give great opportunities to internships, but name them? Some of the most prominent attorney's of all time attended low tier schools. And captain tardo, it is unaccredited. If you any idea what the accreditation process is like, you know it would take numerous years. Keep to your computer where your safe, b/c you have no life. Tiers don't say shit. How bout this for you, do you realize only 1% of students at Harvard law's parents make under $100,000 a year? Enough practice with the LSAT, anyone can make it to an Ivy league school with the right connections. Simply put, public education offers a very viable alternative to people who can't afford that type of education. My guess is, you probably didn't make it in to law school. If you did, you probably attended a very sheltered one, like WNEC? Have fun paying 75K a year for an education. This school bridges the gap between the wealthy and the poor in America. Next time you go picking shit, know your facts.<br /><br />Furthermore, Cali isn't actually the only state that let's you sit for the bar if your unaccredited. ANY STATE DOES SO! If not, to attend law school would be an exercise in futility. If you take the bar in mass without an accredited law school, you can only practice in MA and Connecticuit. It's called reciprocity under the ABA. By the way, Cali is the number one hardest state to take the bar in.<br /><br /><br />One more point. Our school has judges who've graduated from prominent ivy league schools, written text books, and have even had the opportunity to help aid in writing the South Africa Constitution. <br /><br />Those who oppose the school, stand for everything this country is for... Opportunity! If you don't like it, move to another country. People insult for the sake of insulting are nothing more than children. <br /><br />And thomas cooley laughs at this place? That just makes them douchebags with a capital D!!!!!! Insulting a school? What is this fucking high school?<br /><br />Another way to rake in money from the taxpayers, yah......... I'll show you a number of kids that go to the school, who were awarded admission to very prominent law schools. Did they go? No! This is a godsend for people who are enthralled in student loans. <br /><br />Know your shit, before you let it fall out of your mouth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452025352696285200.post-18320911679473005852011-10-05T13:23:50.407-04:002011-10-05T13:23:50.407-04:00just a small correction: the umass dartmouth scho...just a small correction: the umass dartmouth school of law is the new england school of law. the school was purchased by umass two (three?) years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452025352696285200.post-51614371679144498522011-08-14T23:46:18.283-04:002011-08-14T23:46:18.283-04:00You don't have too much perspective.

Just a big racket for states to rack in money with the promise of becoming a lawyer. The bad thing is that getting a job is always about who you know and not what you know. UMASS Law Dartmouth is a good school that is getting up on it's feet. I don't understand how a person could have a negative opinion of a school that isn't putting students in DEBT as much as the other schools. The only people I could see being upset were those who went to other schools and paid a lot more for the same education. And lets not get started on Law Schools accepting criminals into their ranks. Lets not act as if Mr. Cassidy is the only "questionable" person to get into a law school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452025352696285200.post-82302172789894383302011-04-27T18:28:48.153-04:002011-04-27T18:28:48.153-04:00Wow... you are totally misinformed.

And for your information UMASS-Dartmouth is the only public law school in Massachusetts. The school has a site visit with the ABA in November for provisional status and the school WILL be accredited by March 2012. You might be talking about the previous school SNESL, that school is terrible. The incoming 1L law student LSAT score for this semester is 155. Get your facts straight buddy. I guarantee any student at UMASS can compete with any student at Suffolk. Which you are probably one of those students who wishes he would pay 30,000 less for the same education.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452025352696285200.post-17305663929987472002011-04-05T22:06:42.194-04:002011-04-05T22:06:42.194-04:00@7:29 - this "school" is a fucking joke....@7:29 - this "school" is a fucking joke.
