Gerald Magliocca has an excellent idea on how law schools can save the planet (Special thanks to Jonathon Adler at the Volokh Conspiracy for the information).
I not only concur with Professor Magliocca, but I have another suggestion for the law schools in question. If you are going to send me a bunch of stuff, do me a favor and send me a fee waiver instead of all that crap. Lowering the marginal cost of applying to your school from $70+ to $12 makes me much more likely to apply to your school. In fact, thus far I have requested a fee waiver from every law school that has sent me something by email, and I have subsequently applied to every law school that has chosen to offer me one.
So, what is my suggestion? Let paper about how good your law school is. I already know how good your law school because I read the scholarship. Just send me a fee waiver and, subsequently, an offer for admission, preferably one with a large financial aid package attached. Your faculty’s work speaks for itself. Now all you need is one of the best students for them to teach and inspire, and I will do the rest.
Oh, and just so you know, I do not have any control over the U.S. News rankings either. In fact, I do not even care about where your school is ranked. If you have a good faculty of strong researchers and a committment to teaching, I will give your school serious consideration. Everyone already knows the U.S. News rankings are nonsense anyway.
