I know I couldn't since I kind of like the idea of waking up every morning with a clear conscience. I'm sure what University of Dreams is doing is perfectly legal because they probably paid some attorney $300.00 plus and hour to find all the loop holes to make it legal. Ethically, however it is just plain wrong. In law school, the deans pound the concept for ethics into your head, then make you pay money to take the MPRE, when their behavior is anything but ethical. They have no problem taking your money, knowing full well that unless you graduate in the top 5 to 10 percent of your class, you will never be able to secure a job that pays you enough to pay back the loans. After the first year, these law schools know who their stars are, and they are the ones who get treated like royalty, and become privy to the extra perks that star law students receive. You say you finished your first year in the bottom half of your class? Too bad, pay us our money! You say you can't find a job clerking in one of the more prestigious firms after your first year? Too bad, pay us our money! You say you have to spend hundreds of dollars on Emmanuel Case Notes in order to decipher cases such as Pennoyer v. Neff, Marbury v. Madison, and Palsgraff v. Long Island Railroad? Too bad, pay us our money! You say you will never be able to fully explain the Rule Against Perpetuities no matter how long you live? Too bad, pay us our money!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5618663158161665199.post-77726721029907688942010-03-02T11:52:34.613-05:002010-03-02T11:52:34.613-05:00I know someone participating in a similar "pa...I know someone participating in a similar "pay for internship" program.

Yes, she had to pay for her ticket down there, and, unlike U of Dreams, pay her own living expenses, including finding an apartment.
