one of the best programs in the world in my book

Oh, this is just WILD and NOT an SNL skit!! Rep. Jasmine Crockett started listing off all her "accomplishments" during a hearing. So let's examine them, shall we? According to one report: "The honorary degree she boasts about is from an HBCU that once lost its accreditation, has 380 students and an 87% acceptance rate, and is ranked 1,745th in the country. The law degree she holds is from a third-tier law school." Watch her "testimony", do your own research and then weigh in - is this report true? REPOST for exposure! #thinblueline #lawenforcement

Blackness + Qualification =? Denial?or qualified? Let's discuss? How i view this is its a complex and nuanced issue. While it is important to strive for diversity and equal representation, merit and qualifications should be the primary factors in decision-making. It is crucial to create a fair and inclusive environment where individuals are judged based on their skills, abilities, and experience, rather than their gender or race. However, it is also important to acknowledge and address any systemic barriers or biases that may exist, and take proactive measures to promote diversity and inclusivity. The goal should be to create a level playing field where everyone has an equal opportunity to contribute and succeed.

A number of U.S. law schools faced criticism for admitting students into their J.D. programs who were unlikely to pass the bar exams. Over the last decade, many of those schools closed, merged, switched from ABA accreditation, or changed their admissions policies and/or bar exam support. But what about LL.M. students? My next big focus on my Beyond Non-JD blog: LL.M. students and state bar exams. Look out for more starting in July! One easy fix: for state bars to release LL.M. pass rates by school. A quick way to change admissions processes *and* the amount of support LL.M. students will get on bar prep at schools with really weak results. Georgia is the only state I know of that breaks out bar passage rates by LL.M. program and it's a model other states should follow!

Both students have advanced to the national competition in Houston, Texas next month!

Read the attached letter signed by the deans of most of the law schools in the United States. Glad to see that University of Virginia School of Law signed. For any deans who didn't sign, why not? #RuleOfLaw #Leadership #LegalEducation #DefendDemocracy Association of American Law Schools American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative https://lnkd.in/epfB7Ei3
