Another Law Student in Playboy’s Pages

Kennedy James Florida Coastal School of Law student Playboy model.jpgLast year, discussing the surprising success of clothing consultants in the recession, we wrote: “When the going gets tough, the tough get new wardrobes.”

Maybe we should amend that statement: “When the going gets tough, the tough ditch their wardrobes.” Faced with the dismal legal job market, yet another law student has decided to earn extra cash by taking it off for the camera.

In September we reported on Stephanie Christine, a UNC law student who posed nude for Playboy’s “Girls of the ACC” issue. Now, thanks to a horny diligent reader, we’ve learned that Kennedy James (right), a law student at Florida Coastal School of Law, has joined Playboy.com’s “Cyber Club.”

Kennedy was recently honored as “Coed of the Week” by the Playboy Blog. How many law students can claim that accolade? Order of the Coif, suck it.

Kennedy is jokingly described as majoring in “Advanced Sophistry” at Florida Coastal. To preempt the commenters: yes, Florida Coastal is fully accredited by the American Bar Association.

Check out a redacted (and therefore safe-for-work) picture of Kennedy James, plus links to the not-safe-for-work stuff, after the jump.

Kennedy James gives a little interview with Playboy that references her law student status:

Playboy: What’s sexy about law school?

Kennedy James: Nothing’s hotter than a woman who knows her way around some briefs.

Playboy: Do grad students party as hard as undergrads?

Kennedy James: While in New Orleans with fellow law students, I lost my voice and a shoe — good signs of the times!

New Orleans? Law students? A missing shoe? Was Ms. James involved in the Mr. Rogers shoe theft at the Tulane Law Barrister Ball?

Anyway, here’s the promised pic:

Today I had a 6 minute power lunch with a law school colleague who, like me, has the distinct pleasure of serving on our prestigious law review. While consuming our delectable meals--each of which cost more than what most of you make per hour--we listed our wretched peers who had been no-offered, deferred and fired. As we reveled in their inadequacies we noticed two common attributes of these peons: dilatoriness and incompetence.

Let me offer you grunts some sage advice regarding this matter: cease your lethargy and stop submitting defective work. If either one proves too difficult for you to achieve, consider a career in the disposal of feces as a lowly janitor. At least this way you could receive "gratuity," as I occasionally toss quarters into the latrines to see if the help is poor enough to fish them out.

(Nota bene: if the help doesn't fish the quarters out, I know that they are earning too much and slash their pittance accordingly.)

This is truly sad. Most women in the US of A, if they worked out and knew how to put on makeup, would look better than this unfortunate creature. This is law-school-hot gone too far. I wonder if she realized when she posed for Playboy that this pretty much takes you out of the running for a decent job (we all have Google) or a decent man (we don't like to marry women who are already naked on the Internet). So, she probably did this simply to make herself feel hot, which, after reading these comments, is not likely.

My advice to you, sweetheart: get rid of the fake boobs, change your name, move to a small town and join the Baptist church. It's your only hope.

22,

Florida Costal is an online school not eligible for ABA accreditation. However, it is accredited by the State Bar of Florida, so rising 2L's take the 'baby bar' and are then eligible to keep studying if they pass; upon graduation, they can sit for the state bar exam and may be able to eventually get into other jurisdictions by reciprocity.

-73, & 31, 41, 44, 46 a/k/a Ms. James,

I am truly sorry that your parents gave you a stipper's name when you were born. That's not your fault, but unless you're a Calvanist or something (and there's nothing wrong with that), your destiny was not preordained.

Since this is a legal site and you are a putative law student, let me put it this way: You assumed the risk that people would judge you for your looks when you posed naked for Playboy -- and most likley forwarded this link to Lat (you really think he reads Playboy??). And when you forward pictures and links of yourself to the world, you waive the right to cry when you don't get the response you had hoped you would receive.

In short, suck it up and deal with it. I'm sure there are plenty of mouth-breathing dudes with mullets hanging out at The Landing in Jax that would be very impressed by you. On here, however, perhaps not so much so.

The graduates of this school can go take any bar in the US and practice anywhere they want. Know what your talking about before you open your mouth. Now on to horrible rep this nasty girl is giving the school. Ms. James, you and any other girl in law school who pose in porn or playgirl should be kicked out of school. Other law students are held to such high standards to pass the character and fitness portion of the bar, something which you have no idea about. I hope you never pass the bar and you are in a mountain of debt for your poor decisions. Get a normal side job like everyone else instead of getting naked, and if you do it again...how about you stop representing my school and put a bag over your horrible face. Good day.

68- you are an idiot. There is no "baby bar" in Florida and Florida doesn't give accreditation to law schools. This isn't California. I agree with the last person that maybe you should get your facts straight.
Now, this girl is fugly. I thought TTTT'ers were automatically hott. This just proves I was wrong

thanks 116 and 117- clearly anyone is allowed to peruse this site because the asinine comments that have been left regarding Florida Coastal accreditation and academic standards are ridiculous. Let's get one thing straight here, the school just opened less than 15 yrs ago. Since the school opened it not only has received full accreditation from the ABA, but has consistently had one of the top 3 bar passage rates in the state of Florida.

118 - Fla. Coastal brags about the 82% first time bar passage rate of its graduates. I became curious and ran a search on Florida Coastal.

One former student griped that the administration encouraged a high attrition rate in order to boost their passage rate. The former student mentioned a "high suicide rate" which even the people who posted responses defending Florida Coastal did not disagree with. http://www.ripoffreport.com/Colleges-and-Universities/Florida-Coastal-Law/florida-coastal-law-school-bew-62383.htm

WTF is up with the suicides?

I became curious and searched for additonal info.
Florida Coastal's attrition rate is 23.7% and is third only to St. Thomas (28.5%) and Barry (27.6%).

So, an entering 1L at Florida Coastal is 62.6% likely to graduate and pass the Florida Bar exam on the first attempt. This is well below similar numbers for the more established law schools : (1) U. of F. (78.6%); (2) FSU (73.6%); (3) Stetson (71%) and (4) Miami (71%).

I suppose that Florida Coastal's administration can take great pride in the fact that, even after adjusting for attrition, Florida Coastal's adjusted pass rate (62.6%) is greater than that of five of its peers : (1) St. Thomas (41.5%); (2) Barry Univ. (42.0%); (3) FAMU (48.4%); (4) Nova SE Univ (508%); and (5) Florida International (56.0%). http://floridacoastal.lawschoolnumbers.com/

At $ 27,088 annually, Florida Coastal seems expensive to be study among such a select group of students.

With 561 first years, Florida Coastal is by far the largest law school in the state. Oh, but it sucks up
approximately $15,196,368 in tuition for the benefit of the shareholders of a private corp.

Elie borrowed the appropriate phrase when describing these JD factories ---- "just because they can".

119- interesting that your sources come from sites such as "ripeoffreport.com" and "lawschoolnumbers.com"...the equivalent being Wikepedia....but then again you must not be in law school...let's cite to some credible sources. lawschoolnumbers.com is a peer-based information site. How about you pull numbers from credible sources such as LSAC or US News Reports.

Furthermore, you undermined your own argument with you word choice... "This is well below similar numbers for the more established law schools." Clearly whatever school you hail from doesn't emphasize the importance of using persuasive writing - which here is effective word choice- when making any type of argument.

As stated above in post 118, the school is not "more established", it has been opened for LESS THAN 15 years. The schools that are enumerated in your comments were founded in 1909 (UF), 1971 (FSU), 1900 (Stetson), 1926 (Miami), 1984 (St. Thomas), 1940 (Barry), 1974 (Nova), 1948 (FL International), and 1949 (FAMU). So even if you do the most basic math you will find on average those schools have been in opened 48 years longer than Coastal.

So I will agree with you that Coastal is not "more established." Nonetheless, Florida Coastal's numbers are impressive if only for the fact that the school has been opened for only THIRTEEN YEARS. Now, for the other schools you mentioned which have been around much longer and are still T3 and T4 schools- please tell me what they're excuse is for low rankings and even lower bar passage rates. One would think that after over 85 years (in some cases) that they would at least be able to boost about their bar passage rate being over 80%. Apparently something is still not quite right... But I regress on the numbers topic.

To your "suicide" point- have you even taken PR? Suicide rates are high amongst lawyers period.

Lastly- before you criticize a school you clearly know nothing about, how about you do some accurate research, cite to credible sources, practice persuasive writing, and remain objective in your comments.

I'm a FloCo student. A 2L. My experience has been overwhelmingly positive. My professors have been excellent, although I hear some horror stories from people taking different sections of courses. I don't think that's anything out of the norm, though. FloCo is a school that no one knows, but is slowly making a name for itself. A tough curve makes people very competitive, which is great in the grand scheme of things. Scholarships are handed out to most 1Ls assuming they will lose them after the first year (which most do), but some of us actually managed to hold on, so tuition isn't ridiculous (I say that relatively).

To 121 : Interesting point. What percentage of F.C.L.S.'s 1L's who received scholarships "hang on to them"?

123 Posted by guest | Permalink Wednesday, October 14, 2009 12:58 PM

122: I'm at about 15%, and was .07 away from losing mine. Just about all my friends lost theirs. They also reward for good grades, though, in that (I believe) top 10% get 15k, and top 5% get 20k, and the cream of the crop may be offered a full ride. I should note that the curve is a 2.5 to the first semester, 2.7 there on out. This is a .2 increase over two years ago; where I'd imagine only the top 15% of so would keep their scholarships.

The school is for-profit, as other schools in the infilaw network are. This is certainly not a selling point, and something students don't fully understand until they have their scholarships taken away. But as long as the faculty is as strong as they have been for me, this school will be just fine moving forward. Overall I'm happy with my choice and could have done a lot worse in the state of Florida.

"Florida Costal is an online school not eligible for ABA accreditation. However, it is accredited by the State Bar of Florida, so rising 2L's take the 'baby bar' and are then eligible to keep studying if they pass; upon graduation, they can sit for the state bar exam and may be able to eventually get into other jurisdictions by reciprocity."

This could not be more inaccurate. What an idiot.

WOULD THE REAL KENNEDY JAMES PLEASE STAND UP? Check it out...

I posed in March 2008, prior to completing my undergrad with the University of Maryland, taking the LSAT, or being asked by Florida Coastal to attend their school on scholarship. My boobs are saline and they make me feel proportionate; as they were not yet a year old in these photographs, they had not dropped completely (but they're exactly how I wanted them now and I'm so happy about it)--those of you with fake boobs know what I mean. Those of you without--well, congrats on your acceptance of yourself the way you are. If you don't accept yourself the way you are, I'm sorry--I felt that way for a long time, too. I still look in the mirror and see all my flaws, but have made an effort not to focus my worth on my looks. (See "Law Student")

I find it amusing that some of you are obsessed with my butterface. Funny, this is my least favorite angle and I agree with you that these aren't so flattering of my face--my favorite photos as Kennedy are from the promotional pictures I took after Playboy shot my pictorials. Interestingly, I signed a model release when I shot these pictures, so I have no control over their distribution at this point. As a law student who double aced Contracts I and Contracts II, I understand the agreement and will not attempt to fight it. As a woman proud of the efforts I put forth to achieve the physical appearance I worked hard to have, I'm happy that Playboy would ask me to model for them, publish pictures for which I had a blast posing, and will look back and giggle about it when I'm 80.

I'm on twitter at iBwellRED. If any of you care to put your curious and creative juices to productive use, feel free to contact me there and we can continue in the form of a proper dialogue. Or, just keep going here and I'll have more to print as an example for when I speak about issues such as tolerance, acceptance, appreciating instead of hating, open mindedness, and embracing humanity's sexuality as life liberties that have led me to happiness.

Oh My God. or to put it more modernly and forum appropriate, OMFG. It's 2009, a new millenium is already under way and the same problem that has plagued mankind since its beginnings is rearing it's ugly head yet again ... JEALOUSY. My name is Justin Lamar Winch and there is a picture of my beautiful mug and the equally beautiful Miss tiffanie perry kissing me on the cheek as my profile pic; I am going to go with the 100% chance of being correct that ANYONE who said anything negative about my girl Kennedy James is either a) a virgin; b) watching "adult swim" right now AND a virgin; c) would piss on themselves if Kennedy James walked past them and so much as made eye contact; d) is sitting somewhere around the LOWEST ranking in their lawschool class and the reason for that is they keep getting on the internet and commenting on other people instead of correcting their low grades. Now, I go to Loyola University School of Law in New Orleans now but recently attended Florida Coastal School of Law in Jacksonville and for the idiot (again, probably a virgin/mother liked the other siblings better, etc.) who thought florida coastal was an online school, well, you judge yourself everyday when you put those cuts on your inner thigh, so anything i said to you would just cause you to cut yourself more so i say to you, seek help. To EVERYONE, dogging another law school WILL NOT help your pitiful scores. and the fact that you are using your spare time to create this hysteria about a beautiful girl being just that, beautiful, instead of doing what you SHOULD be doing, and that is reading your casebook to help your own grades WHILE RUNNING ON A TREADMILL AND TALKING TO A THERAPIST ABOUT SELF-ACCEPTANCE ON THE CELLPHONE, is just disturbing. Peace out, The only reason i even created a profile on this time-waster of a blog (which is all any blog is) is because i love my girl!!!

No. The fact that they graduated from a dump like FCSL is why they did not get jobs. What potential employer in their right mind would not hire, say, a Stanford grad just because their classmate ended up turning tricks for a living?

Why in god's name would she be expelled? FCSL is a for-profit dump. They don't give a rats ass about their fourth tier reputation. It's not like we're talking about some holy-roller school like Liberty Law School where they would literally get their panties in a bunch about this. She will most certainly not be expelled provided 1) she can pay her tuition, 2) she's not getting failing grades, and 3) she doesn't get caught selling cocaine and/or test answers. Mark my words.

And in case you still didn't understand my previous post--even after getting out your dictionary--here it is so that even a FCSL student can understand. No employer is dumb enough to turn down an otherwise qualified candidate just because a classmate did something stupid. Of course, given that we are talking about FCSL students, the "otherwise qualified" bit is most likely the reason they did not get jobs, regardless of whatever pathetic excuse the employer (or more likely your "friends") made up.

I wonder how many of you have flipped through the boob tube and found yourself stopped on the E! Channel completely absorbed by the show “Girls Next Door”, “E! News”, or perhaps “T.H.S.”. You’ve probably caught yourself wishing you had even a small chance to experience that life while you’re sitting there on your couch in the spot that your ass has permanently made its home.

You’ll never get that opportunity; you’ll never know what it was like to meet a legend (Hefner) and shake his hand, thank him and be a part of history in the making. Women have not always been shown the freedoms that are currently being exercised. It is people like the oppressors in this commentary who have made sexuality taboo. You, my friends, will go through life having gotten your law degree from FCSL (that’s looking on the bright side) and perhaps you’ll become a divorce attorney in the small town that you came from.

I hurt for you. You’ve taken it upon yourselves to bash my best friend for showing that BRAINS AND BEAUTY do exist in the same wonderfully made package.

If nothing else, this episode has bestowed some recognition on FCSL. They are a school that values intelligence, business astuteness, and embraces the times and the liberties that women have worked so hard to obtain. I'm so glad that they are taking the steps necessary to ensure her safety and stand by the legal rights of their students.

Also:

Far more judicial institutions have had their students pose for Playboy and then held signing parties on campus:

I think they HATERS should reconsider their stance and purchase a copy. :-)

I'm one of the people who trashed ol' Butterface. I stand by my comment. However, I would say that her response was impressively mature, measured, and well composed. Her boyfriend's response, however, was the sort of poorly crafted drivel that will prevent him from ever making it as a lawyer.

If employers can get past her Playboy pictures (and they really should), I have no doubt that, with a bit of hard work to overcome her TTTT handicap, Kennedy could eventually land a decent job and a satisfying career. She'll need to if she's to support the eternally jobless looser she is currently allowing to paw at her frightful boob job with his sweaty palms.

120 - My guess is that you're the Sales (erh "Admissions") Director at Fla. Coastal Law School.

Although you criticized the sources I linked to without refuting any information they contain, I assure you I did not bother to conduct an extensive search.
The links popped up under a search for Florida Coastal Law School out of relatively few hits. (I use a search engine that is not influenced by paid advertisements). Would searching more extensively produce information showing that the stats. I cited were materially wrong? (I doubt it).

As for your personal attacks, bring it on. I am not going to out self ....

I assure you I graduated from law school and have observed Florida Coastal's graduates. I am not favorably impressed.

The striking thing about your response is your statement that lawyers are at a high risk of depression and suicides. Suicides were not an issue when I was in law school. A non-issue.

What happened at Florida Coastal that causes someone who appears to be a former student at Florida Coastal Law School to imply that at least one student committed suicide? I am concerned by your response because you deflected this issue which indicates that you are insensitive to a serious issue and/or will spin your product at all costs. This makes me sad.
