LEGAL EDUCATION UPDATE: Systemic Reform: “Knowledgeable and respected authorities inside and outside the legal academy are correctly describing the American system of legal education as being in a state of ‘crisis’ and in need of dramatic reforms. Yet most members of the legal academy refuse to accept that major structural reforms are necessary.”

The already-troubled Widener Law School is on the list, marking yet another non-feather in the cap of its star-crossed Dean, Linda Ammons. And if Widener was really fudging the numbers, then given its low ranking, how much worse would it be if the numbers were accurate?
