A study by the Center for Equal Opportunity has found discrimination in admissions at the Arizona State University and the University of Arizona Law schools: CEO chairman Linda Chavez said: “Racial discrimination in university admissions is always appalling. But the degree of discrimination we have found here, at both schools but especially at Arizona State, is off the charts.” She noted that the odds ratio favoring African Americans over whites was 250 to 1 at the University of Arizona and 1115 to 1 at Arizona State. “As a result, nearly a thousand white students during the years we studied were denied admission even though they had higher undergraduate GPAs and LSATs than the average African American student who was admitted--and over a hundred Asian and Latino students were in the same boat with them.” CEO president Roger Clegg agreed, and stressed that, not only was race weighed, but it was weighed much more heavily that residency status. “For instance, a white Arizonan in 2007 was about eight times less likely to be admitted to the University of Arizona than a black out-of-state applicant, and at Arizona State he would be twelve times less likely to be admitted.” Read the report press release at: http://www.ceousa.org/content/view/623/119/ Source: Execupundit.com ...

Christensen, Associate Professor of Law at the Thomas Jefferson School of Law, presents some intriguing results about a study which asked 157 Law students to respond to a survey about their learning goals and motivations for learning in Law School. An interesting finding from the study showed that the LSAT score was the weakest predictor of Law School success. You may read the article by clicking on the link below.

The College of William Mary Law Library was recently spotlighted on the I Love Libraries website. An excerpt: Nearly 30 years ago, in 1980, the College of William & Mary opened its original 36,500-squarefoot library. By the mid-1990s, shelf space, work space, and seating were in short supply. The library looked dated and offered little support for today’s technology—only a small portion of the library’s carrels and tables had access to power outlets, its computer lab was carved out of former stack space, and its tiny “typing rooms” had long outlived their usefulness. During the sabbatical inspections that took place in 1995 and 2002, the American Bar Association (ABA) and Association of American Law Schools (AALS) both pointed to the library’s physical facilities as a serious weakness for the School. Using a combination of state funds, private donations, and student fees, the Law School budgeted $16.8 million for an expansion and complete renovation of the library. The new library would not only be 60 percent larger than the old library, but would be much brighter and more inviting. Law Library Director Jim Heller worked on the plans with Shelley Dowling, who had recently joined William & Mary (W&M) as a part-time librarian. Heller had experience with two small renovation projects at the W&M Law Library; Dowling had been involved in renovations at the U.S. Supreme Court Library and Georgetown’s Law library before coming to W&M.

Hilary Swank will be playing the title role of Tony Goldwyn's Betty Anne Waters , based on the true story of a high School dropout whose brother is wrongly imprisoned, which inspires her to work her way through Law School while raising her kids in order to free him. Strangely, Goldwyn has been trying to get this film made for seven years, as the first meeting he had about the project was in New York on September 11, 2001, and it was cut short after the World Trade Center disaster. Still, the story to be told here is the kind Hollywood loves to see. ...
