Re: California School of Law
Posted by Mary Ann on 7/10/08

    John:

    In the interests of full disclosure you might have pointed out
    that California School of Law has never had anyone even take the
    baby bar or regular bar exams much less pass. It's too new.

    This might turn out to be a good school but it's unproven at this
    time. In the past few years, at least three new schools went out
    of business within the first two years of operations.

    In other words, it's a risky investment at this time.
