If Your Prof Still Hasn’t Given You Your Grades, He Better Be Fired or Dead
At most schools, exams were two months ago. The "grade deadline" at schools that have them has already passed. If you don't have your grades by now, your law school should be offering you a refund for the outstanding classes. Well, students might not be able to do anything about late grades, but they don't have to be happy about it...
Law Students Sue School Over Being Graded on a Curve
Two students at Texas Southern University's Thurgood Marshall School of Law received crappy grades.

What’s The Worst Law School In New York?
There are 11 ABA accredited law schools in New York City and Long Island (including Pace, even though the law school is in White Plains). It's a bit douchy to argue over who's best, but it's pretty fun to argue over which law school is the worst. Nobody thinks that they go to the absolute worst law school in the city. But that means one student body is dead wrong. Let's find out who....

Notre Dame Goes for Two
It’s been a rough year in South Bend. A promising new head football coach led the Fighting Irish to a disappointing 7-5 regular season. The #5-ranked basketball team forgot to show up during March Madness (but at least the women’s team exceeded expectations). It was a year that many Irish fans would like to rewrite. […]
