[QUOTE="rifram09, post: 2503619, member: 70325"] It would be great if TCU was willing to sink the resources into it. But private schools aren't well positioned in legal education unless they are already well established or willing to offer extensive scholarship. A $120k+ law degree at an unranked law school is a very poor financial decision. Probably only 10-30% of the graduates each year will make enough to justify the cost. If we could get the cost for students down to about $45-65k, it could be very competitive in FW. But that would take a significant investment from the university. Edit: plus A&M Law would be a big problem. They are already killing it in FW because they are offering a law degree at a reasonable price with a big name on it... and they have a huge head start on us. If they ever move their school to College Station, that opens the door for us to leverage the FW legal market. But I doubt they will ever do that. Edit 2: my dream scenario (probably never going to happen) would be for South Texas COL in Houston to look for a merger, and we convince A&M to take their school to Houston (which is way closer to CS and there are tons of Aggies). We could then easily open up a TCU Law School in FW. We would have to shell out major cash to convince A&M to move to Houston and even more cash to invest properly in a law program. So it ain't happening. Would be a good fit for all parties though. [/QUOTE]
