Know Anyone At East Tennessee State?

I know undergraduate schools have law school fairs all the time, but I thought this one coming up at East Tennessee State on Jan. 18 was especially interesting. Here's a list of the participating schools:

• Appalachia
• Ave Maria
• Belmont
• Campbell
• Charlotte
• Drexel
• Florida Coastal
• Liberty
• Lincoln Memorial/Duncan
• Memphis
• Mercer
• Tennessee
• Stetson

Apparently, if you ever want to have a regional pow-wow of lower-tiered law schools, just have a law school fair at a lower-tiered undergraduate school. There must be a Batman-like sign that goes up that calls admissions people to the trough of possible tuition-payers.

There is one school on this list I would pay a dime to attend (Tennessee, and that's only if I was a Tennessee resident and didn't get a scholarship to somewhere nicer).

One of the panel presentations is going to be called "Why Go to Law School." If anyone near ETSU is free on January 18th and wants to have some productive fun, go and ask the representatives what percentage of their graduates are employed, what percentage default on their loans, etc.

I understand ETSU probably thinks its doing its students a service by hosting the educational equivalent of a "buy-a-Timeshare-now" circus, but ETSU's "best and brightest" would be best served by having an objective picture rather than an orgy of propaganda.
