Socialists!

I suppose that I should know the answer to this question, but is the University of Puerto Rico accredited by the American Bar Association? Moreover, how many of its professors belong to SALT?

Yes, the University of Puerto Rico has been ABA accredited since 1946.

Two other schools in the island have also been approved by the organization for over 30 years.

Interamerican University of Puerto Rico (1969)
Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico (1967)

The other law school in the island, Eugenio María de Hostos Law School, was founded recently and is not accredited.

Yawn.

Ah... I see you have a pair of kings and a pair of aces, but I have...

... THE RACE CARD.

All your printers are belong to us.

[in all seriousness, this was extremely bad public relations, regardless of any justification WL might have had for singling out puerto rico]

4 -

Thank you. What about SALT?

- 3

I think 4 is mistaken. And isn't there some sort of special or "mini" bar exam that rising 2Ls at UPR have to sit for?

Um, Elie, wouldn't you say that representing Puerto Rican law schools with a GRAFFITI graphic could be construed as just a wee bit racist? Isn't that the kind of thing you get your panties in an uproar about?

Speaking of Puerto Rico, I'm scheduled to fly down to San Juan for a couple of days on a document production. Does anyone know of any good restaurants they could recommend?

Thanks in advance.

3 = fail. Already trolled in the earlier thread (and it appears the same 1L fell for it there).

7- Don't know. I graduated a couple of years ago, and to my knowledge I don't remember any professors belonging to that organization.

8- You can go to the link I posted and see the dates of accreditation for the schools. And no, there is no mini-bar 2L's must pass. The school does make it mandatory to enroll in a clinic during 3L. It was a great experience, I got to go to court 4 times before graduating.

10- If the doc. production is in Hato Rey, don't miss Ginjer for lunch. If your hotel is in Condado or Old San Juan, go to El Jibarito for authentic Sotomary rice and beans. You can also hit any of the restaurants in the Fortaleza Street for a more posh and trendy scene.

9 is right. Grafitti? Bad call. But, we all make mistakes. 10: Check these Rests. out: Raices, Ajili Mojili, Casita Blanca and El Obrero. Att. UPR Law Alumni

11 - 3 did not fail. It was an epic pass with 4 falling for the trolling with such gusta. 4 even linked to their nifty research.

11 = fail for not acknowledging such an epic pass.

11 & 4 = douches.

That is all.

Not 3.

Sweet citation. Maybe West should throw in a Blue Book for the schools.

I didn't know so many people in Puerto Rico read above the law. My parents are from there (and I was born there). They are going to retire there and I'm thinking about moving when they do. Anyone have thoughts on the firms? I understand that McConnell Valdes is considered the number 1 firm with few disputes, but after that it's a little murkier - how do O'neill & Borges, Fiddler Gonzalez, Goldman Antonetti, Pietrantoni, Mendez & Alvarez, etc. fit into the picture?

4 -- Why does your list have two different dates listed for NYU law?

Thank God - Westlaw printer crisis averted! We can all be thankful that law students in PR will not have to read cases ON THEIR COMPUTER MONITORS! (cue horror movie sound effects)

¡Cómo el atrevimiento usted no cubre la ley de Puerto Rico, Westlaw! ¡Puerto Rico es 100 de largo por 35 millas de ancho y como resultado de su posición geográfica en el centro del arco de las Antillas, Puerto Rico es esencialmente encrucijada de culturas hispánicas y Anglo! No te atrevas a la ira de un sabio latina como yo! ¡No puede ser despedido! ¡Mi país ha sido una parte de los Estados Unidos desde 1898 y los puertorriqueños han sido ciudadanos de los E.E.U.U. desde 1917! ¡Las materias de ley a nosotros, la gente indiginous, tanto como ellos importan al varón blanco! Puesto que vinieron los primeros seres humanos en tierra hace miles de años, la isla que ahora se conoce pues Puerto Rico ha abrigado indios, españoles, africanos y, sí, incluso Anglos. Los españoles tenían la influencia más temprana y más grande a la isla en su llegada en 1493. Durante su arrendamiento de 400 años los españoles violaron y pillaron a nuestra gente, y ahora Westlaw quiere hacerlo otra vez!. ¡Apenas como los españoles trajo esclavos de África trabajar en los campos, que, alternadamente, contribuyeron la especia de su cultura, enriqueciendo la lengua, la música y las dietas, Westlaw quisiera que en la comunidad legal fuéramos esclavos a su información mitad-exacta!

¡Cualquier persona, la corporación o la asociación desobedeciendo voluntarioso cualquier decreto judicial, proceso, orden, regla, decreto, o comando legal de cualquier corte de districto de los Estados Unidos o de cualquier corte del distrito de Columbia, haciendo cualquier acto o cosa en esto, o de tal modo prohibido, si el acto o la cosa así que hecho esté de tal carácter en cuanto a constituyen también un delito debajo de cualquier estatuto de los Estados Unidos o bajo leyes de cualquier estado en las cuales el acto fue cometido, serán procesadas para tal desprecio! ¡Pienso que Westlaw califica aquí, y espero que le vea en la tribunal superior!

Usted sabía que cerca 4 millones de personas de viva en el " Isla del encantamiento, " ¿con más que millón en la mayor zona metropolitana de San Juan sola? No te atrevas a la ira de un sabio latina como yo! ¡Es una sociedad vibrante, moderna, bilingüe, multicultural, y merecemos ser representados en la ley! Los residentes de Puerto Rico tienen mucho en común con sus americanos compañeros en los Estados Unidos continentales, con todo conservamos nuestra cultura. No te atrevas a la ira de un sabio latina como yo! ¡Usted debe reconocer ese Westlaw!

19: What the hell is that??? My native language is Spanish and I have absolutely no idea what you just wrote. Funny though.

ok; so I'm half Puerto Rican but my spanish sucks. Here's what Google Translator said:

How dare you not cover the law of Puerto Rico, Westlaw! Puerto Rico is 100 long by 35 miles wide and as a result of its geographical position at the center of the arc of the Antilles, Puerto Rico is essentially a crossroads of Hispanic and Anglo cultures! Do not you dare the wrath of a Latin scholar like me! It can not be fired! My country has been a part of the United States since 1898 and Puerto Ricans have been U.S. citizens since 1917! Substances Act to us, the indiginous people, much as they matter to the white man! Since the first humans came ashore thousands of years ago, the island now known as Puerto Rico has sheltered Indians, Spanish, African and yes, even Anglos. The Spanish had the earliest influence and greater to the island on their arrival in 1493. During his tenure of 400 years the Spanish raped and pillaged our people, and now Westlaw want to do it again!. Just as the Spanish brought African slaves to work the fields, which, in turn, contributed the spice of their culture, enriching the language, music and allowances, would Westlaw in the legal community that we were slaves to their half-accurate information !

Any person, corporation or association willfully disobeying any writ, process, order, rule, decree, or command of any court of law of the United States district or any district court of Columbia, doing any act or thing this, or thereby forbidden, if the act or thing so done be of such character as to constitute also a crime under any statute of the United States or under the laws of any state in which the act was committed, be prosecuted for such contempt! I think Westlaw qualify here, and I hope you see at the High Court!

You knew that about 4 million people living in the "Island of Enchantment," with more than a million in the greater San Juan metropolitan area alone? Do not you dare the wrath of a Latin scholar like me! It is a vibrant, modern, bilingual, multicultural, and deserve to be represented in the law! Residents of Puerto Rico have much in common with their fellow Americans in the continental United States, yet retain our culture. Do not you dare the wrath of a Latin scholar like me! You should recognize that Westlaw!
