Arizona Summit Working Overtime

Lots of poorly informed malcontents accuse law faculty of not working hard.  To them, I provide the counterexample of Arizona Summit Dean Shirley Mays.  According to Above the Law's sources, Dean Mays was calling Arizona Summit graduates asking them to not take the bar exam on the Monday before the bar exam.

Some bar-takers were apparently put off by being offered $10k and given an invitation to a superduper program.  ATL apparently reached out to Mays for comment:
Not sharing this information would have caused them to miss the opportunity for making an informed judgment.
Can you people make up your mind?  You want to bitch about having a lack of transparent information about irrelevant employment outcomes.  Now you want to bitch about last-minute informative telemarketing schemes.

Goodness gracious, make up your minds.  Do you want law schools to prevent fraud and provide full consumer information or not?

  1. I understand that Arizona Summit is calling the program the Unlock Potential ("UP") program. I think a better name for it is Successful Underachievers Can Know Exam Realities and Score! ("SUCKERS") program. These people are going to be completely lost in the profession.

  2. "Not sharing this information would have caused them to miss the opportunity for making an informed judgment."

    I suppose that she will call all admitted applicants with scholarships the day before the first day of class and tell them specifically the percentage of 2L's that will keep their scholarships and the grade curve designed to ensure that a particular percentage cannot under any circumstances keep their scholarships, because otherwise they would miss the opportunity for making an informed judgment. I cannot find the scholarship retention data on their website by the way. Perhaps Dean Satan would have better luck.
