Restoring Dignity to the Law: Law Grad Wants FTC to Investigate Law Schools
http://restoringdignitytothelaw.blogspot.com/2011/06/law-grad-wants-ftc-to-investigate-law.html
Restoring Dignity to the Law. Friday, June 17, 2011. Law Grad Wants FTC to Investigate Law Schools. The only surprising thing about t. Is that the ABA Journal actually ran it. Apparently, Murray must not have "networked" enough at the 23rd-best law school. In the country to get a job that would compensate him enough to not think of writing this article. Not that I have much faith in the FTC, but it's nice to see people showing some creativity in finding ways the law schools have done wrong. Some day ...

Restoring Dignity to the Law: Silly Irrational Rich People
http://restoringdignitytothelaw.blogspot.com/2011/09/silly-irrational-rich-people.html
Restoring Dignity to the Law. Wednesday, September 14, 2011. Silly Irrational Rich People. In today's episode of "non-profit" capitalism, I have a strong negative reaction to this article. Hofstra University School of Law will be renamed in honor of a graduate who has agreed to donate $20 million to the Long Island school, the school announced yesterday. Mr Deane is "exceptionally fond of the law school," she said, adding that a condition of the donation was that it exclusively benefit the law school.

Restoring Dignity to the Law: A Labor Day Laugh from Fox News
http://restoringdignitytothelaw.blogspot.com/2011/09/labor-day-laugh-from-fox-news.html
Restoring Dignity to the Law. Monday, September 5, 2011. A Labor Day Laugh from Fox News. In this article, entitled "Internet to Bring Down the Sky-High Cost of Higher Ed, Experts Say,". Blake Snow ignores reality in a way I think Fox News is only capable of. Does anyone in their right mind think that the private university system is going to move to low-cost model where current costs would have to be slashed? The analogy to the newspaper industry is dumb; newspapers are all genuinely for-profit, and the...

Restoring Dignity to the Law: A Closing Argument of Sorts
http://restoringdignitytothelaw.blogspot.com/2011/10/closing-argument-of-sorts.html
Restoring Dignity to the Law. Monday, October 3, 2011. A Closing Argument of Sorts. This will probably be my last entry at this particular blog address. This is something I've been mulling over for the last few months, and I think the time's right to put it out to the internet pasture for a number of reasons, only a few of which I'll get into here. The idea that they would rather assume young people are lazy, stupid, careless, greedy, etc. strikes me as shockingly cynical and inherently narcissistic.
