Its unpaid so I'll have to find another part time job to pay the bills but I'll gain experience with the law.

UCSD and California Western Merger Townhall Meeting
California Western held a townhall meeting to discuss the possible UCSD-Cal Western merger. The students asked questions and the Dean gave answers.
Highlights:
Someone asked who the school perceived as political obstacles to the merger. The Dean pointed the questioner to the San Diego Tribune without directly naming anybody.
-I interpreted this to mean USD as they didn't have exactly positive statements to make about the possibility of a UC law school eclipsing their program. Apparently the merger failed in it's last iteration due to local politics. This is odd considering the second largest city in California does not have a public law school.
I asked when the merger would be complete if everything went smoothly. The answer is late 2010 or 2011.
The person who answered the question had been present for the last attempt at merging and seemed very optimistic about the momentum the schools had towards a merger.
Why am I blogging at 2am? I misread a legal skills assignment and had to do the whole thing over from scratch. fml.
Edit:
I read this article:
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/jan/28/ucsd-looking-law-school/
A lot of the comments came from individuals who lack reading comprehension skills. So here is the tl;dr response for critics: 1) there is no increase lawyers created by this merger and 2) California Western is already financially viable so there would be nearly no strain on the state to support the school.
