hey, i thought all of these people in charleston and morgantown said that Mu would not be able to get teachers or students to fill a pharmacy school? ::)  Guess they were wrong, once again.  glad to see this moving forward.

AMEN...The only way that there will ever be a chance of the playing field being "leveled" in the Legislature is a Law School.

I doubt we'll get a law school anytime soon and it has nothing to do with WVU or the state.

There are too many lawyers being produced and some believe there are too many law schools in general.

Actually, even if the school went ahead and tried to start a school, there would be a very good chance that the ABA would refuse to accredit it because of the glut of new lawyers that have been produced recently.

The bottom line is that the law bubble has burst and its time to move on.

me thinks the reason charleston and morgantown didnt want MU to have a pharmacy school is they knew MU would get teachers and students.  that place fears competition and breed students who have the same mentality.  wvu sux.

The law bubble hasn't burst at all.  Classes are full at most institutions.  There are a lot of folks studying law and never practicing; great substitute in business for a PhD.  If I had the choice I would get a JD instead of a PhD any day.

But at MU, Law School must come as an independent endeavor, private school "attached to" MU and driven via a strong cadre of available instructors.  I think Hton has the resources, but probably not the desire.  Anyone got a couple million extra laying around that they want return on in about 10 years?  From what little "inquiry" I have made on this subject, that is the minimum it would take.

JD over a Phd? A Phd in what?  If we are talking business then MBA is the way to go.  Marshall will never have a law school.  There is absolutely no need at all.  WVU's law school is one of the worst in the nation, anyone can get in there.  If you have above a 3.0 you can get in there no problem.  Why would we flood the market with another school in an area that doesn't have the population to generate enough talented students for one school, much less two.

I dunno, but those are the main ones we've been needing.
