Beautiful News: On September 27, 2015, Crain’s Cleveland Business featured a Jeremy Nobile article entitled “Enrollment is falling at Northeast Ohio law schools.” Check out this wonderful opening:
“Northeast Ohio’s law schools continue to see enrollments dwindle compared with the levels seen just a few years ago, but school officials and industry experts are hopeful the trend may soon turn around.
The consensus is the overall situation, here and nationwide, is worrisome, but not dire — yet.
Data from the University of Akron School of Law, Cleveland-Marshall College of Law and Case Western Reserve University School of Law show that enrollments at those schools are down 3% to 6% from last year.
More striking, though, are the decreases over the last several years.
Since 2010, total enrollment has dropped about 36% and 39% at Case Western Reserve and Cleveland-Marshall, respectively, and 16% at Akron.” [Emphasis mine]
Yes, the “legal scholar” cockroaches are hopeful that this trend will come to an end. In fact, the pieces of trash will continue to decrease their pathetic-ass admi$$ion$ “standards” further – in order to help reach that goal. Later on, the author continues:
“Craig Boise, dean of the Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, said, “We’re hoping to see if this is bottoming out. But my view of this is we’re going to be in a holding pattern for a while. We’re going to have to get used to having smaller classes.”
In an emailed statement, Case Western Reserve deans Jessica Berg and Michael Scharf added, “We already were considering a smaller class size, in part because of the highly experiential nature of the new curriculum we were developing required hands-on learning.”
Smaller class sizes compared with years past is, expectedly, common today. It’s a change some believe is here to stay, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
“We’ve been able to have more sections of courses with smaller class sizes,” Boise said. “It’s one of the positive sides of what’s pretty universally viewed as a bleak situation.”
While both Cleveland law schools saw first-year enrollments drop this year, the Akron law school reported growth of more than 20% in new students in the J.D. program.
Dean Matthew Wilson believes that’s not an anomaly, adding he expects that needle to remain in the black going forward. It’s worth noting that softened admissions standards can help get more students in the door, and Akron’s is the lowest of schools here by a slim margin.” [Emphasis mine]
It’s funny to hear academic rats claim that they were already planning to have smaller class sizes. Yeah, sure you were, bitches – in the same way that fat slobs and losers “choose” to not ask out the prettiest women at their school or job. By the way, notice how the swine don’t even allude to the bleak employment prospects facing their students and graduates.

Ranking of the Commodes: As you can see, Cleveland State University is rated as the 127th greatest, most sensational and tremendous law school in the entire damn country, according to US “News” & World Report. In fact, it shares this prestigious honor with the Univer$iTTTy of Akron Sewer of Law and several other turds. Ca$e We$TTern Re$erve Univer$iTTy is even more elite – as the 59th “best” law school in the United States! What a remarkable institution of “higher learning,” huh?!?! How many future Supremes will this toilet produce?!

Average Law Student Indebtedness for the Three Trash Pits:US “News” lists the average law student indebtedness - for those members of the JD Class of 2014 who incurred debt for law school. Hell, they even provide this in a ranking format. For some reason, the waterheads still applying to law school don’t simultaneously hyperventilate and cream their pants over these listings. The figures below, including percentage of the class taking on such toxic debt, pertain to the dung piles profiled in the Crain’s piece cited above. The percent of each Remember that these numbers do not include undergraduate debt, and they do not take accrued interest into account – while the student is enrolled.
Case Western Reserve University: $131,724; 73 percent
Cleveland-Marshall: $89,879; 90 percent
Akron: $82,322; 81 percent
Yes, those are really great numbers for the student, right?!?! Now, imagine trying to repay those amounts – and provide for your own food, rent, insurance, automobile, etc. – while your ass is stuck making $35K-$45K per year. Still want to sign on the dotted line, mental midget?! If you are intent on pissing away large sums of money, then pay me $10,000 to kick you in the nutsack. At least then, the pain will only be temporary – and your future will not be ruined.
Conclusion: These three schools are garbage institutions, which provide their students and graduates with weak-ass, putrid job prospects. Do you believe that YOU will be served well by incurring an additional $100K+ in NON-DISCHARGEABLE debt, for a JD from any of these stench pits?!?! If so, what is your basis for that confidence? Do yourself a favor and talk to recent law grads from these cesspools. In stark contrast to “law professors” and administrators, these men and women don’t have a $elf-intere$t in seeing any moron enroll in the school.
