Stetson Law School Wants You

Are you currently considering enrolling in a certified program of legal education at an outstanding university located in an outstanding city in an outstanding state?  If  so and things don't work out you might consider the Stetson College of Law in Tampa Bay, FLA, which it would be fair to say is very interested in speaking with you at your earliest convenience.  But even if it's not convenient for you to apply for admission this week or this month or this spring that's OK, because if you don't act now you can apply as late as July 1st for admission to the Fall 2012 class. Classes start just 47 days later, but I'm pretty sure that will give the Admissions Office more than enough time to determine if you are not currently an involuntary resident of a correctional facility meet the school's entrance requirements.

Now if you should happen to be a member of cynical lazy Generation Y, that is, somebody who has an Entitlement Mentality, you may be prone to ask cynical lazy questions such as "is going to the Stetson College of Law a good idea?" If so, you're probably not the kind of person they're looking for.  No, Stetson is looking for people who want to "effectively seek justice in the world," not people obsessed with crass questions of that nature.  For example, if you want to know what the chances are that you'll get a job as a lawyer if you go to Stetson you won't find a single piece of information anywhere on the school's web site that will give you the slightest hint as to what the odds are that you'll achieve that goal after going to this law school.

The cynical lazy entitled compilers of the Law School Transparency Index ask 18 questions regarding the employment and salary data each of the nation's ABA-accredited law schools provide to prospective students. Some schools actually provide prospective students with most of the answers -- for example Michigan State's web site allows 0Ls to learn the answers to 15 of the 18 questions. Stetson answers none of the questions. That's right, Stetson wants you to apply for admission without knowing literally anything about employment outcomes for its graduates, other than that 84% of its 2010 graduates were "employed" nine months after graduation.  Now cynical lazy entitled etc. G-Yers might note that this (un)employment rate is actually double the current national unemployment rate -- a rate which is calculated using a denominator that includes graduates of genuine ABA-accredited Colleges of Law, but also includes high school dropouts, certifiably crazy people, Rick Santorum, etc.

One thing our cynical lazy potential applicant can figure out without filing a class action law suit first is how much it costs to go to Stetson, and how much debt its recent graduates have incurred.  Stetson is charging $36,168 for full-time attendance this fall, which is actually about 11% less than average tuition was at the average private ABA law school last fall.   It's telling, however, that this "bargain" price still managed to leave the school's class of 2011 with an average of $133,082 in high-interest, non-dischargeable law school debt. (This figure doesn't include undergraduate or other educational debt, or consumer debt).

A lot of progress has been made in the last couple of years in regard to raising consciousness about the extent to which law schools are trying to get away with behavior that wouldn't be tolerated if they were ordinary businesses as opposed to centers of higher learning.  Something like this is a reminder of how far we still have to go. In all candor, if you're on the Stetson faculty, does this seem like an acceptable situation to you? Do you think it's OK to represent to your students that it's a wise decision for them to incur six figures of (high interest non-dischargeable) debt to go to your school? If so, what's your basis for that belief?  Because that is in fact what you are representing to your students, implicitly if not explicitly, every single day that you "do your job."  Are you comfortable making that representation?  If you're not, maybe you should do something about that.

Update:  It's worth emphasizing that Stetson is not a "bad" law school, in the sense of being significantly below average.  First, it's more or less in the middle of the USNWR rankings (41st percentile).  More significantly, as a commenter notes, in the context of Florida law schools in particular it's actually one of the better law schools in the state, ranking behind UF, Miami, and FSU, but ahead of a half dozen other ABA schools. In terms of expected return on investment it's also "average" -- which is to say the modal student there can anticipate a fairly catastrophic outcome.  It is, in other words, a typical American law school in 2012.

    1. Given that Stetson Law School is listed as a tier 3 law school according to US News, many are surprised to learn that the school’s Legal Writing program has been ranked sixth in the country and its Trial Advocacy program has been ranked first, according to the USNews specialty rankings. Undoubtedly, these programs help to prepare Stetson’s pool of future lawyers for the rigorous career that lies ahead

    He clearly had an impact on the Univ of Michigan in embarrassing them into making a full disclosure. Other schools have also clearly felt the need to go into spin mode also. Didn't NYU or Columbia also respond with spin when Prof Campos challenged their numbers?

    So clearly they understand that Campos has the attention of the media. Nobody wants to be the poster child for the scam. So this blog clearly has the power to affect a modest amount of change via the "spotlight".

    Yeah, I agree. Stetson is certainly a TTT law school. But there are a few others in Florida that are even worse.

    @9:57 AM and @10:11 AM,

    I find it refreshing that Prof Campos is willing to put certain practices of law schools in the spotlight. Pointing out the scam in an entertaining manner is the best way to expose the scam.

    Prof Campos made the decision to use direct language when he named this blog with the word "scam" in the title. That was a big step for a law professor at a T1 law school.

    I applaud him 100% for his willingness to name names and go directly after the core of the problems.

    ReplyDelete
  18. 9:57 - I disagree. Stetson's constant stream of advertisements in the Tampa area and this unprecedented and publicly announced delay in application deadlines merits a different tone than a scholarly one. After all, how many ways are there to intellectualize these kinds of desperate acts, well, other than to speak plainly as well as caustically about them. Surely you have no trouble with a professor adopting a caustic or sarcastic tone when discussing the meltdown of the subprime mortgage market, a business built on selling flawed and unconscionable financial interests to people who could not understand them or in most cases, properly service them, all being driven by flawed and disastrous Government policy? Everyone of those elements is present in the law school problem.

  19. I wouldn't even hire a Stetson law grad to milk the cows at my Uncle Jesse's farm in Wyoming. What kind of a fucking name is Stetson for a law school? Do they give 1Ls a starter kit which includes a Stetson hat, Stetson cologne, cowboy boots, stirrups and chaps? The dean of this school should just take a picture in a tattered suit, with a sad and disheveled look holding out an upside down Stetson hat. The byline of the picture should say: "Help this man by enrolling at Stetson Law School. His AMG Mercedes is depending on you."

  20. If a TTT school like Stetson (not the worst law school in the country) is having trouble filling all of their seats, imagine the crisis at the TTTT level.

    There are at least 80+ law schools ranked lower than Stetson.

  21. Does Stetson have a Joan King figure that hands out glossy career brochures to the naive 0L's at the pre-admission receptions, and then turns around and is "too busy" to consult with the 3L's, claiming that they should have "networked harder" after slamming the door in their faces?

    ReplyDelete
  22. More important than the tone of Campos' posts is his need to expand his audience. The internet can capture the attention of the kids, but television probably is where their parents will learn of the law school scam. So the more he can get on television (Easier said than done, I know) the quicker the law school industrial complex crumbles.

    You will soon be a lawyer. Read about the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. When your creditors start harassing you about your student loans, file a lawsuit against them for violations of the FDCPA and FCRA.

    Then you negotiate with them to get everything negative removed from your credit files. In the settlement agreement you get some boilerplate language inserted.
    1) all parties to release all claims. Then your student debt is gone 100%.

    2) non-disclosure, non-dissparragement, so they cannot report anything back to the credit reporting agencies ever again.

    How is that for thinking outside of the box?

  29. @TerryMalloy

    You nailed it with "going off the grid and never coming home."

    I know a kid who fled from his student loans back in 2009. I visited him in Costa Rica and they man is making good coin as a professor and he even married a hot Tica. He told me the first few months were the hardest to fight off the urge to come back home to the States. He is now a Costa Rican lawful resident and says he will never come back to the U.S. His family has visited him for the holidays so it's not like he will never see his family again. Personally, if I owed $250K in student loans and got suckered in for one of these law diplomas, I would go off the grid, no cellphone, go south of the border and let Sallie Mae hire all the bounty hunters they can to collect the loan. Eventually, the tax payer will be on the hook while I live off in some tropical or exotic paradise.

    But you're about to graduate from the 4th best LS in Florida! Sure, it's no "national" school, but Stetson probably provides great opportunities in its own vibrant legal market (lol)......Right?

  31. 12:57: I have absolutely no investment in defending schools outside the T14. I was actually one of the supporters in that thread the other day of thinning the ranks to the T14 + one public LS per state. I just think Campos owes it to his constituency of unemployed graduates to maintain a professional, non-scamblogging tone that will ensure that he is taken seriously by the people who need to take him seriously - certainly, prospective students and their parents, but possibly also legislators, law enforcement, etc., given the clear need for regulation of law schools and their misrepresentations.

    The FDCPA/FCRA strategy won't work. Federal Courts are ruling that you can only bring one FDCPA/FCRA claim at a time. They (Federal Bench) are tired of seeing their dockets clogged with these cases. $1,000 per lawsuit? Good luck spinning your wheels.

    ReplyDelete
  37. There is no need to file in federal court. Include some claims from your state laws which often are similar to the FCRA and FDCPA.

    It does work. I did it and got rid of all my debts with ADR. None of them want to spend $20,000+ to fight that type of lawsuit, espeically since I am more than willing to resolve the matter out of court with a release of all claims and a non-disparagement clause.

  40. Actually, most of the FDCPA/FCRA lawsuits I filed never even got in front of a judge with any significant motions. The other side typically tries to get the case resolved without even hiring local counsel or answering.

    Only two times (out of eight) did they actually answer the lawsuit. And both of those also settled in mediation.

Since I'm always saying that the US could learn something from the UK, let me possibly shock you by saying that UK law schools don't (in my experience) carry any details about employment prospects for graduates.

  42. I've never been to Stetson's Law School in Tampa. However, I've been to their undergraduate campus in DeLand. It's a lovely place, as is the town. I must say, though, that the students looked like they came out of one of those cologne ads. It's hard to imagine them getting too worked up about the job market.

  43. FOARP,
    I have wondered about that myself. Why do law schools make such silly claims about salaries and employment outcomes. Other graduate schools dont seem to make such detailed claims.

    I doubt there would be so much outrage if law schools stay quiet like other programs. I dont think dental schools or medical schools making such detailed claims about employment and salaries. Why do law schools do it and put themselves in this situation?

How I am going to be picked up by Homeland Security (who looks at my blog as well as the US Dept of Justice) and incarcerated--the equivalent of debtor's prison.

    I live in constant fear.

    My debt is terrifying and if anyone want's to trade my debt for their smug world view I am willing.

  47. @1:44 p.m.:

    One of the chief defenses of law schools that you hear (from people with every reason to know the truth and ample reason to lie about it) is that nothing has really changed. It's just this little recession, one like others that previous generations of law students have faced, but it's that uniquely Gen Y sense of entitlement that's undone this latest group. It wasn't clear to me that you were part of this group, and I should have made it clear that I wasn't referring to you as part of it.

    I finally told him that he ran away from his American Student loan debt from a 1st tier law school, and that all of his new Australian and Chinese friends probably know that deep down and have no respect for him.

    It pissed him off, but the truth hurts.

  50. 11:44 - you don't get it, do you? Your comment is one a lawyer would make, i.e., one who fails to understand the economics of the situation and the situation Stetson Law Schools finds itself.

    Most law schools are a failing, and they have a rapidly crushing business model. And in this sense I disagree with Professor Campos about Stetson. Yes, in terms of ranking, quality, and so on, it is a typical law school. And yes, it has the typically high overhead (especially salaries) of so many law schools, which have specialized in overpaying for arcane research that virtually no one reads and supporting an inefficient teaching delivery model. But Stetson's local demographics are terrible, and as such, they are the canary in the coal mine when it comes to the transition from a failing business model to a failed one. The education level in the Tampa Bay area is relatively low. There are few high value add employers in the area because they cannot retain talent in the area. 168 LSAT scorers in Northern Virginia, Westchester County, the North Shore of Chicago? They abound in these areas, even with lower numbers taking the test. Good luck finding that kind of score in any numbers in Tampa Saint Pete. The great students in Florida often leave, and they sure don't go in numbers to USF. The fact that Stetson is out trolling locally for students at the last minute just blows my mind. It is like culling for a needle in a haystack. Just as with the failed subprime lenders, they know they are facing a shortage of customers willing to pay their tuition with borrowed money. And they also know exactly what is in store. Lower standards (as they will have to do)? Great, the slide down the rankings will be painful, and precipitate even more pressures. Keep lowering them? They know darn well what kind of grades and scores augur for bar passage three years later, and know exactly what will happen if the passage rates plummet (one of the advantages of affirmative action is they have data on the casualties of the legal market - I know my T14 law school keeps them). It is a death spiral, and a number of these law schools will really begin to feel it. It is not personal - just a totally failed business model.

  51. "For 2010 graduates whose status is known, 84.9% were employed or enrolled as a full-time student as of February 15, 2011."

    This sentence constitutes the sum total of placement data that Stetson is willing to share with prospective students and the public. And here we are in 2012, when even law school reactionaries, such as the ABA, concede that placement stats are totally inadequate, even as they defend other aspects of the scam. Congratulations, Stetson, on a truly impressive display of contempt for your students and the profession!

    Moreover, the sentence conveys absolutely no information. What kind of jobs? What percentage of grads are "status known"? I believe that that exact sentence could be used by the scammiest of cosmetology schools.

    I note that Stetson provides a telephone hotline to try to lure some marks into enrollment:

    877-LAW-STET

    For a bit of scamblog-activism, readers should consider calling the number, proclaiming their interest in applying to Stetson, and politely asking for some placement data on how many graduates actually get jobs in the legal profession.

  52. Stetson doesn't post employment numbers, but they are available from the US News premium site. Here's the grim news:

    The bar passage rate (for Florida takers) is just 75.9%, lower than the state-wide average of 77.6%. That alone should give one pause.

    Only 56.9% of the class of 2010 were known to be employed nine months after graduation in full-time jobs that required bar admission. I calculate that number by starting with percent of grads whose employment status is known (96.1%), multiplying by percent employed (78.3%), multiplying again by percent in jobs requiring bar admission (76.4%), and multiplying again by the percent of the latter in full-time positions (99%).

    Many people--maybe most readers--don't realize that these are nested statistics. I.e., they'll see that 76.4% had jobs requiring bar admission and think, "well, that's not so bad. Some of the others probably didn't want legal jobs and surely I can finish in the top three quarters of the class." But the "percentage of jobs requiring bar admission" is a percentage of those who are employed--which, in turn, is a percentage of those for whom the school has information. Crazy, corrupt system.

    I think the OP reflects a very important sign: There are going to be very serious pressures on many schools to find enough 1Ls this fall. The impact may be quite uneven, depending on region and tuition as well as rank, but it almost certainly will be there.

    ReplyDelete
  53. The bar statistics in my previous comment were from 2010 (the year that US News reports for employment outcomes). I just looked at Stetson's site and note that they give higher stats for 2011: 87.7% in July and 87% in February. Big jump! Not sure what accounts for that, but I want to be fair to Stetson in posting facts. Of course, they're not being quite as forthcoming to 0Ls in posting employment statistics...

  57. Since the Federal Government is not minding the store, I suspect Stetson and other law schools will get away with cutting admissions standards until their bar pass rates go into the toilet and stay there for at least three years. Perhaps in 2018 and 2019 the ABA will finally notice the problem and demand, what else, more government aid.

    Complaints about "tone" say that the anonymous shill author, most likely a legal "academic," has no substantive rebuttal to the flames of truth that LawProf brings each and every day.

  65. I went to this trash pit but was one of the lucky few to come out the gate making 6 figures, at least I have hope of paying off the 145k in loans I took on

  66. Stetson is no better or worse than any other decent law school. Do you really think the professors at Harvard teach their law students anything worthwhile? Obama graduated from Harvard and he's an idiot.

  67. I've recently moved right down the street from stetson and had the idea to go over there and find a place to flyer for a chinese speaking qui tam attorney then I remembered why its harder to find a good lawyer than it is a doctor. The search continues.

  68. I called Setson to hire one of their recent grads for my Son who is in jail. I was told a new attorney right out of law school would cost less then a veteran attorney. They were very nice at Stetson, but of no help for me. They do not have records of their recent graduates they could furnish to me.
