Shames sues UCAN
The problem is if UCAN files a cross complaint, he cannot stop that from going forward if they file.— January 6, 2013 3:43 p.m.
Shames sues UCAN
#Yes, it is fascinating -- particularly, by filing suit, Michael Shames essentially volunteering to be deposed under oath. Which leads me to believe he must not have done anything wrong, or, he is the dumbest attorney ever.— January 6, 2013 12:09 p.m.

#How many law students didn't finish? Or couldn't pass the BAR? Or dropped out after a year or two at Western State? How many of us still have Student Loans hanging around our necks? And Debt Collectors harassing us? In hindsight I never would have enrolled at Western State University School of Law. It was a scam. They're a Corporation. Not about an education. All about money. That's the bottom line. What you didn't mention was that most, the majority of the ones who did finish and did pass the bar will still not work as attorneys, and the few that do will never make the money needed to service the $150K-$200K in student loan debt service. The student loan system has turned into a major scam, where Big Business is fleecing the poor and middle class and then ultimately the tax payers who pay the costs of the scam....sort of like TARP...no exactly like TARP. The rich and well off make out like bandits-which they are- and the poor end up getting screwed.— January 6, 2013 11:55 a.m.

As bad as WSU is, they still have people, many, who are declined enrollement.— January 6, 2013 11:50 a.m.

#Is it because they are better schools, or because they have their pick of the top candidates? Books, classes and cases are all the same, at every law school. The difference is the $$$. People who are accepted at top 14 LS's have been taking LSAT prep course that can costs ten's of thousands of dollars, and usually do not have any work or family commitments to deal with, enjoying 100% of commitment time to taking the LSAT, the largest factor in getting into LS by far. Same with the bar exam, those who can study for 4 months w/o working or other commitments have a far better chance of passing. The ones who gets the higher LSAT and LS admits are the ones who have the most $$$$, that is a fact.— January 6, 2013 11:47 a.m.
Shames sues UCAN
If they are serious at some point they will send the infamous "Target" letter..then you KNOW you're in big trouble. But bottom line, if it was me and I had anything to hide, I would not be filing lawsuits where I could be cross examined- depositions are done on the record under oath and can be used in criminal proceedings.— January 5, 2013 3:44 p.m.

You're not going to learn jack SH** at a White Shoe law firm your first 1-3 years. You will be working 80, 90 hours+ per week, including weekends, doing grunt legal work. As a solo you will be able to learn the ropes as you go, on the job training, including how to do appeals- which are very comlicated. You won't see the inside of a real court room in Big Law for 5 plus years......you would never work on an appeal at Big Law unless you were in that specific area within the firm......— January 5, 2013 3:35 p.m.

TJLS should be killing La Verne, and the same with Whittier. I will say this, Whittier has improved substantially if they are at 70%.........— January 5, 2013 3:31 p.m.
