California doesn't have to do SHIT. These judges who "ordered the release" of criminals are not policymakers. They should be disbarred and thrown out of their courtrooms.
LIBERAL JUDGES are clearly a threat to our lives. There's no more vivid example than this nonsense.
Naming your law school after somebody = TTT.
Naming your law school after somebody not a judge = Even more TTT.
Naming your law school after somebody still alive = Holy crap, TTT.
Naming your law school after a personal injury attorney = Epically TTT.
Naming your law school after a personal injury attorney still alive = Holy freaking crap, TTT.
Loyola deserves any "accreditation"/"baby bar" trolling it gets from now on.
Probably not first, and certainly not feeling clever this morning.
Now I'm SO glad I didn't go to Loyola Law in LA.
Southwestern all the way, baby!
I swear to god I thought Loyola was a high school in Chicago's north shore area....
Vietnamese skanks give all other Asian people a bad name. Lets send them back to Vietnam.
Congrats to reaching an all-time low Loyola- at this point you might as well just call it the Lionel Hutz School of Law
loyola chicago- #1 in ambulance chaser law!
Does the Kanye West story have anything to do with the legal world? It'll probably turn out that it was staged to give the irrelevant MTV awards some ephemeral relevance.
7--I would love to win the powerball, legally change my name to Lionel Hutz, and then pay some TTT school to rename itself after me.
*does lights out dance*
Yeah, rag on a school for honoring a philanthropic alum... All the people calling the move TTT 1) hate their biglaw jobs; 2) are jealous that some personal injury lawyers make 10-100 times more than they ever will; and 3) need to get back to billing before the layoff fairy pays them a visit.
California has been ordered to COME UP WITH A PLAN by week's end, and to implement it over the next two years if the Supreme Court doesn't reverse the three-judge district court. Your headline is extremely inaccurate.
Why does Kanye blog like a teenage girl?
9, if that was staged, Taylor Swift deserves an Oscar along with that best female video award. Her face appeared genuinely shocked.
Haha. Norwich, CT.

Southwest is a garbage TTT.
