The Almost Fiduciary Duty of A Law School to the Taxpayer, if not the Student

* This Post is re-titled, and my first draft of this hodgepodge of ideas is below in red, and everything in black represents my ongoing efforts to clean it up and organize it. My blog is my scratch-pad most times, and is ever mutable, until I feel something is in the can and finished.  Or, if I don't like it, I  discard it. (It is just a blog after all, and not a newspaper or Journal) So if anyone is not comfortable with my approach,  print out what you see. 


It is well known that many lower tier Law Schools receive most of their tuition dollars from a Federally backed Student lending system, and have been doing so for a couple of decades at least.


It is also common knowledge by now, that many of these schools have prospered, while many of their ex-students have not. Looking back on my own personal experience at one such lower tier law school,  I cannot help feeling bitterness over the contrast between how that school has moved up in the world in the intervening years, while I have sunk-did deeper and deeper into debt. 


But through the mists of time, and the shadows of the past, certain individuals from the faculty, and certain events stand out in my memory.


For instance there was the time that a sort of sneering fellow with a sly face, a contracts professor named Kirkland Grant, walked out on a class he was teaching  scarcely 20 minutes into it, all because one student, when called upon, revealed that he did not brief a case. I remember it well, for Professor Grant shouted, with a very angry and flushed expression, something about all of us someday being responsible for people's lives (or some kind of similar bullshit) and then, much to everyone's astonishment, grabbed his papers and stormed out.


This is a different animal from creative writing. I suck at this. 4AM-More tomorrow night. Ler er ride.

I was just a 27 or 28 something stupid kid, and did not realize that a lot of good money (a lot of of federally backed Student loan money) that went to pay for that class on that day was completely wasted. 

This instructor Grant had a duty to teach, and, in hindsight, walking out,and on behalf of Touro as their agent or some kind of representative at the very least, was really, really terrible.

In very ironic contract law terms 

• If : Student Loans have no statute of limitations whatsoever, why should any abuses by a law school in the handling/management or mismanagement of the student loans have any statute of limitations attached. 

• If withholding one semester's grades until three weeks into the next semester,  while at the same time demanding that tuition be paid in full (with federally backed loans)

• So was that Contracts Professor, when walking out on a class not doing so as a Federal Offense, as in, not fulfilling a federally backed contract? The very premise of his standing there was from taxpayer backed Student Loans.

 with a nice office, and the hyphenated name of whatever, that taught absolutely nothing about what he had a duty to teach, in preparation for the bar exam, was also responsible for the lives of his students, in my opinion, and, likewise with no statute of limitations attatched, (tit-for tat)and responsible for throwing away a lot of taxpayer dollars on that day. To say nothing, once more, about all the money he threw away all year, teaching nothing about contracts. Many others can back me up I am sure.

Fair is Fair. 

If Law School is allowed to be a Horrible hazing experience, the people paid to teach and haze and push the students ought to be held accountable for the fruit of that non-teaching and, in many cases, gratuitous hazing and extremely stressful psychological abuse (bordering on driving a lot of students to a nervous breakdown) and with no statute of limitations attached, because the federally backed student loans they surely, under God's or Mankind's law, must have some responsibility for, have no statute of limitations attached, for their offenses, which, frankly amount to crimes against humanity. 


if the taxpayer is involved, and if a debtor is on the hook for life, why cannot the law School that reaped the profits thereby be held accountable for wrongs committed in the management or mismanagement of the funds, even if it was done  20 years ago.

How many law school classes in the six main subject areas like Contracts, Torts, Criminal Law, Civ Pro, Evidence, Property, etc. etc. have failed to fulfill their duty in actually instructing, as opposed ot a lot of classroom drama and bullshit


Next I will talk about the Crim Law ( a huge and majorly imoortant topic)  Professor that taught nothing. 


Then the witchcraft scholarship and bullshit. (Taxpayer dollars again to pay for it all)


Calling it a fiduciary duty (a term of art) should draw interest hopefully .  No better way than by being detective columbo and by getting something wrong.  Ask a lawyer (or certain personality types) his or her opinion, and walk offstage while  they listen to themselves speak for hours. 


It ain;t what you see, rather Sometimes it's what you don't see that is the most telling of all. 


FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!
