How Much Like Hell Is Arizona Summit?

Infilaw's Phoenix location reflects a famous description of the town.

Who knows? If there is in fact, a heaven and a hell, all we know for sure is that hell will be a viciously overcrowded version of Phoenix — a clean well lighted place full of sunshine and bromides and fast cars where almost everybody seems vaguely happy, except those who know in their hearts what is missing… And being driven slowly and quietly into the kind of terminal craziness that comes with finally understanding that the one thing you want is not there. Missing. Back-ordered. No tengo. Vaya con dios.

— Dr. Hunter S. Thompson with a bit of a flashback quote from Generation of Swine (affiliate link). I pondered that description of Phoenix as I walked by its most famous “Rank Not Published” law school, Arizona Summit. The quote fits the Infilaw property perfectly: the school looks outwardly fancy, but at least some — around 60 percent — of the smiling students walking in and out of the school — at 8 a.m. on a summer day — must know that the job they want just isn’t there.
