Bankruptcy Judge to the Rescue of Poor Old Lady / Law School Grad
January 13th, 2010 admin
We’ve previously written about Denise Megan Bronsdon , who graduated from the (unaccredited) Southern New England School of Law and then failed the bar three times. Not surprisingly, she had some difficulty finding gainful employment. Then she wound up in bankruptcy. Bronsdon tried to get her $82,000 in student loans discharged in bankruptcy. A bankruptcy judge ruled in her favor, finding that having to repay the (normally non-dischargeable) student debt would constitute “undue hardship.” But then a district judge, on an appeal brought by her lender, vacated and remanded.

Above the Law's Elie Mystal discuss...(NYT) While law schools added about 3000 seats for first-year students from 1993 to 2008 both the percentage and the number of black and Mexican-American law students declined in that period, according to a study by a Columbia Law School professor. What makes the declines particularly troubling, said the professor, Conrad Johnson, is that in that same period, both groups improved their college grade-point averages and their scores on the Law School Admission Test, or LSAT Even though their scores and grades are improving, and are very close to those of white applicants, African-Americans and Mexican-Americans are increasingly being shut out of law schools, said Mr. Johnson, who oversees the Lawyering in the Digital Age Clinic at Columbia, which collaborated with the Society of American Law Teachers to examine minority enrollment rates at American law schools.
