Fallout continues to ripple across the South Carolina Lowcountry in response to the Charleston School of Law (CSOL)’s controversial decision to partner with InfiLaw – an entity of dubious report specializing in the creation of what critics refer to as “diploma mills.”
News of this arrangement – which broke exclusively on FITS – has alumni, faculty, staffers and students up in arms. And since our most recent report, we’ve learned things have deteriorated even further.
Last week, disagreement among the school’s board of directors over the deal caused Judge Alex Sanders and fellow founder Ralph McCullough to resign in protest. Now, former magistrate George Kosko is running the school – but not for long. According to our sources, CSOL will invite C. Peter Goplerud III – a less-than-distinguished sports lawyer from Oklahoma – to run the “institution.”
Yeah. We can’t wait to see how that announcement goes over …
We’ve also learned Charleston, S.C. mayor Joe Riley – who voiced his support for the controversial deal – has negotiated a secret deal with InfiLaw in which the company is promising to develop several properties in the immediate vicinity of the school. Accordingly, as one source tells us, his advocacy on behalf of the deal “cannot be viewed as genuinely in the interest of the law school.”
As we noted in our initial report, the timing of the CSOL announcement was especially bad for current students – as a critical July 15 transfer deadline had already passed. Now the school is going out of its way to make it even harder for students to get out. According to our sources, CSOL’s dean – Andy Abrams – is holding up the transfer process by requiring each student who wishes to leave the school to meet with him personally to explain their reasons.
That’s super shady, people.
Anyway, stay tuned for more on this rapidly unraveling mess in the days ahead …

If Ralph and Elizabeth are involved, it’s about the money – for them and them only.
ABSOFREAKINLUTELY – he has to be 100% behind it – he’d be the one to craft the deal then “resign in protest” – he’s the poster child for “mediocre mind” making money as a lawyer
Lewis and Bob, you must be the biggest assholes on the face of the planet. The McCulloughs are beloved at CSOL. NO ONE teaches article 9 better than Elizabeth. And Mr. McCullough is as sweet as can be. It sounds like you are a bitter *&^%head and probably lost a case to or before him. Concentrate on your lawyering rather than your douchebaggery. And yes, THAT is a technical term.
but then again “anon” you attend a legal diploma mill….what could you possibly know about anything?
There was a time when I thought they were good folks also. Then I got to know them.

Whoa….UR joking with TBG, yes?

Say it ain’t so, Joe.

Will the bathrooms stock law degrees from InfiLaw schools for use as toilet paper?

Why would Joe Riley give a rats ass about the well-being of the CSOL? He shouldn’t and anybody who thinks he should is crazy. He isn’t an owner, board member, etc. Of course they are looking at developing several properties in Charleston because that is what InfiLaw does–jack up enrollment numbers to 2 or 3 times what they are now. That is how diploma mills work.
All schools are diploma mills these days.
He doesn’t. He cares about developing property downtown.

What a great way to bring capital to the Charleston economy, even if the capital brought is in the form of student loan debt. Illusory growth since no one really gets richer in the long term, but Charleston gets more tax revenue due to the increased property values and increased consumption of having more students using their loans as “stimulus.” This is how misallocation of capital creates the illusion of wealth being created despite no saved (only debt) capital being used.

The legislature should act to prevent grads from CSOL that will graduate 3 years from now from sitting for the bar in South Carolina. Problem solved.
Anyone feeling confident enough to test should be allowed to do so.
Yeah, because what South Carolina needs is MOAR people calling themselves lawyers.
I could give a crap if the whole damn state held a law degree.
Which is why your opinion on who should take the bar is worthless.
Fuck that. Oh wait. You’re one of those ‘conservative’ Repuklicrats that would never endorse anything but “Free Trade” and “Open Markets” right?
Edit: You’re not at all “Protectionist” are you?
No. I’m someone with a brain and who uses it. I suggest you try it sometime.
Well explain yourself? Why do you care who gets a law degree? What the fuck do you care, seriously?
I’m not going to waste my time using logic and reason to explain my positions to a simpleton who feels the need to use “fuck” in every sentence. Here’s a hint- your position isn’t more justified or correct because you curse. Grow up some, son, and maybe I’ll engage you in an intelligent debate.
Oh yes sir. You are absolutely correct. Please forgive me my insolence. Let me try to rephrase my question in a more delicate manner.
1. Does SC have reciprocal licensing agreements with other states, and
2. Would that not allow me to come to this state, by virtue of my license in another state, to practice law here after the basic application requirements.
I truly humbly await your wise and kind decision my lord.
1. No. SC does not reciprocate other state’s bar exams
2. So, no you’re not allowed to practice law here unless you pass the bar exam.
3. Can’t take the bar exam unless you have a law degree from an ABA approved law school
Have to take your word for It. I tried. I’m sure it can be done, thought it’s probably reciprocal to a judges back pocket. bunch o’ filth
No reciprocation, even for already licensed attorneys.
Not doubting. Very fracking protectionist. Whole damn state gubmint ought to be dumped for a mulligan. Thanks
Frank, hate to tell you this put its pretty much ABA/state standard across the country. Just because one passed their respective state bar, is liscensed and insured and practicing in good standard in their home state means nothing in another. I live in SC but practice in Al, GA and TN. But I can not represent anyone in SC as I am not a memember of the SC bar. Hell I had a SC judge “strongly encourage” me to be careful of what I say to friends and family as it could be perceivd as the unauthorized practice of law in SC.
Some states do have reciprocity – for instance, in Texas you can be admitted without taking the bar exam if you are a member in good standing in at least one other state and have been actively practicing law for for at least five of the past seven years.
Please don’t bother Frank Pytel, professional comment thread hijacker, with your pesky facts.
Actually I asked about already licensed atty’s not other states exams.
Just curious: How do you calculate MOAR people?

Can someone confirm if I have missed something. My understanding is that not long ago somebody that founded the place go the boot? Now that person has sold this place to ‘pond scum?’ and the locals are bitching because the guy that got the boot fucked them over?
Is that right?

Nice reporting–however who at CSOL was actually behind this deal? Who was pushing for it? What do they have to gain. Interesting that Sanders and McCulloch resigned over it but give us the rest of the story.
Sanders and McCullough DISSENTED to the deal. Upon dissent to an extraordinary corporate act, the supporting board members have the right to redeem the dissenter’s shares. You should really think before you talk…..
You really should work on your reading comprehension skills. Also, i wasn’t talking, I was typing. I wish that when I talked, my words would miraculously appear on the type-written screen; however, I have not mastered that ability yet.
The article states “the deal caused Judge Alex Sanders and fellow founder Ralph McCullough to resign in protest”
Where does it say they “DISSENTED” (i guess it is supposed to be in all caps because that makes it more impressive that you know that.)
The article doesn’t say that which is why i asked a question and asked for the rest of the story. Had the article stated they dissented and redeemed their shares, then I would have been more informed and the need for my question would be moot.
You obviously have inside information and based on your lack of logic and reading comprehension I can only surmise that you are a student at the CSOL. Or you are just a douchebag.

Looks like Joe is privy to the deal to keep his gentrification machine running in that part of the peninsula. The upper King area has certainly cleaned up since the law school got there. In 2006, being in any area north of the law school or O’Malleys after dark was asking for a mugging. Thanks to hipster/coed colonization of the past 7 years, you can now bar hop and look trendy all the way to the Recovery Room while only being accosted by as few as 2 or 3 crackheads during the day. The frequency will triple when night falls however.

As a for-profit institution CSOL has a different model than a non-profit school would.
First, their ideal student is someone who is motivated to attend, but lacks qualification to go to a non-profit (like USC). That way they can charge double the tuition.
As the number of applicants increase CSOL will want to increase enrollment. They won’t have the option of increasing admission requirements since better qualified applicants won’t enroll in sufficient numbers due to the substantial differences in tuition.
Everyone in practice knows that CSOL is a diploma mill anyway. Everyone in practice also knows that people who are smart enough would go to USC if they had a choice (exception being the CSOL evening program part-time students).
I do know a couple people who could have gone to USC, but chose CSOL instead (because they “like Charleston better than Columbia”). They’ve got to be hating that decision now though
Picking a law school for the comparative lovability of its location rather than the quality of education it provides says volumes about the judgment if not intellegence of those who picked CSOL over USC. Granted, if you lived in Charleston and wanted to practice there after graduation, it would only make sense to to to CSOL because it would give you an edge in integrating into the Charleston legal community in some ways. But to otherwise pick CSOL over USC shows a level of thinking best suited for a 5th tier law school.
Heck, I doubt that a CSOL degree gives anyone an edge anywhere, even in Charleston.
I attended CSOL and had professors like Nathan Crystal and Steve Spitz, both former long-time USC professors and SC titans of jurisprudence. Some, not all, got a fairly decent legal education at CSOL, at least comparable to USC. At the time I chose, the difference in quality of education was at least up for debate. Those professors; however, are either gone or on their way out.
The Law is a business. Picking a Law School based on the fact that girls are pretty in Charleston and I like the beaches is a tremendously bad business decision.

3L at CSOL here.. I got into USC, and a lot of other schools. CSOL gave me a lot of scholarship $. I love charleston. I’m from Charleston. I’ve received a wonderful education at CSOL. Its just a shame my degree will never reflect that. I would have never even considered this school if I’d known it would go the way of Pheonix Law. We have been sold down the river.
Don’t worry. You can always be my paralegal.

The timing was also bad in that the Class of 2013 and probably quite a few from previous graduating classes were taking the bar exam during the week that the news broke.

“We’ve also learned Charleston, S.C. mayor Joe Riley – who voiced his support for the controversial deal – has negotiated a secret deal with InfiLaw in which the company is promising to develop several properties in the immediate vicinity of the school. ”
According to the Charleston P&C, Riley permitted the sale of a prime piece of property to this for-profit school at a well below market price long before this Infilaw deal was in the works.

Wow. Obviously most of the people leaving comments on these CSOL-related articles have Zero idea that CSOL is unique, and not a “poor decision” for a law school. How many of you idiots bashing the school are aware that CSOL is one of the ONLY 2 schools in the nation which offers an Maritime LLM degree? From the looks of it… None. Unless you’ve attended the school, you obviously have no idea what you’re talking about when it comes to the curriculum, Professors and quality of education this school includes. Too many people on this page think they know what they’re talking about. Is it coincidental than only a rare few of you will even hold an LLM degree in your careers as a “prominent attorney”? Nope. Not in the slightest.
When Alex Sanders and Ralph McCullough resigned the school lost all its academic credibility. They would not have left if they did not believe the change was bad for the School and that the School would reflect badly on them.
The fact the school offers a particular degree doesn’t mean the program is a good program. There are virtually no Maritime LLM programs in the US because there is little demand for the specialty in the US. Given the small level of demand for that specialty, if I were going to go that route I would sure shoot for an LLM from Tulane and not the CSOL.
Correction, Bill. The fact that the school offers the degree, which is one of THE most UNcommon degrees in all the nation signifies that YES, CSOL Does have what it takes. It is unique in one of the specialist ways a law school can stand out in a nation full of “too many lawyers”. Or have you not noticed that Charleston is home to one of the deepest ports in the entire nation? It is literally a powerhouse in terms of everything Maritime. The only larger powerhouse is in New Orleans, because (as many of you don’t know and will never grasp the concept of), Louisiana isn’t just under normal “American” law, it is regulated under the Civil Code. For those of you currently scratching your head, No, this isn’t “common law”. This is law orchestrated and originating under Roman, Spanish and French law. Bill, if you knew ANYTHING about Charleston’s Maritime attorneys and law (which even most Judges have the hardest time wrapping their heads around), then you would understand that the Maritime LLM program is one of the most prestigious programs that ever could have originated in this, or any other school. Nevermind Torts, Criminal, Property, Family and the rest of the “basic” elements of law… this is above and beyond everything you ever learned. Sure, you can get your license to practice in different STATES within the U.S., but until you grasp what it means to practice Maritime law, and learn the rules of the International Judicial System, you’re still small time. Win all of your cases, or lose them all. You’ll never experience what it’s like to be truly great until you practice on an International scale. THAT is what this school means to me. Charleston’s Maritime/Admiralty attorneys are some of THE BEST lawyers any licensed attorney anyone will ever encounter. They have not only survived, they have succeeded; and on an aspirational level might I add. These are the attorneys who are present in our school. These are the attorneys who teach our students the ropes. And THESE are the attorneys who will teach our students to wipe up the floor with every other attorney across the United States who thinks that they “have what it takes” when it comes to a maritime case.
Read it and weep, Ladies and Gentlemen. You can smash and bash our school all you want, but when push comes to shove, CSOL is better than any of you give it credit for. And that’s the way we prefer it.
True, there aren’t many maritime llm programs in the US. The fact that CSOL *offers* one doesn’t make it prestigious, let alone reputable. Everybody knows Tulane is where its at for admiralty. There or the UK. Not so much Charleston. Sorry.
Well, I think he has done an excellent job of convincing himself of that.
Well, that settles it. I suggest you put that on your resume.
is there a large market and demand for a maritime LLM?

Graduates of the CSOL already had dismal prospects of obtaining employment at anywhere other than the free wifi at starbucks with their little laptops. I can’t imagine any job offers will be extended to anyone now.

Hey, all the students who want out should line up all at once to meet with him personally. Stupid move on his part because even if it is just th students getting ab appointment with gphis secretary, it would create a great visual. Maybe they shoul wear parachutes or have Geronimo signs or something to drive the point home.

I’m not seeing the problem.
CSOL was overpriced and had bad employment stats long before they signed up with Infilaw. Students weren’t getting jobs and those who weren’t getting jobs couldn’t make enough to pay down their debt.
For-profit/non-profit is a meaningless distinction in the law school context. Either the “profits” are going to pay salaries and perks of a cabal of tenured faculty/admins or they are going to shareholders. Either way, it’s the students who pay up.
