1L plans transfer to warmer climes

“If WRAP is any indication of what Advocacy will be like, then I have to get the hell out of here,” said 1L Marlene Perkins. “I’ve been looking around at schools out of state, and I think I want to move somewhere a little warmer.”

Perkins stumbled on her new transfer school of choice while shopping for luggage on half.com during a large section class period of WRAP last week. “This place looks fantastic,” Perkins told us, pointing to her laptop screen. “It’s in Arizona, it’s a really good school, and it doesn’t have skills classes requirements.”

The school that piqued Perkins’ interest, the University of Phoenix, will offer an unaccredited J.D. program for the first time next fall.

“We’re very excited about our new law program,” said University of Phoenix Director of Admissions Martin Cheselwick. “We’re going to do all that stuff other law schools do, but we’ll do it all online. Ms. Perkins can move here if she wants, but it’s not necessary.”

“Online law schools are the wave of the future,” Perkins reassured us. “You suckers can sit there and learn about wills and tax and that crap, but will you have a course on court reporting? No. What about project management or an introduction to criminal justice careers? No and No. It’s time for fun in the sun, bitches! I haven’t been able to find a picture of their campus yet, but I’m sure it’s huge.”
