I’ve heard a lot of complaints since I came to law school. There’s too much reading, too much debt, too much gunning, and, most importantly, too few jobs.
Not much can be done about most of those, but recently, the Campbell School of Law made a drastic move to answer at least some law student complaints. Literally. It moved.
Starting next year, the Campbell School of Law will reside not in Buies Creek, North Carolina, but in Raleigh, North Carolina.
In addition to being the home of internet personalities Rhett and Link, who I have never heard of, Buies Creek is the home of Campbell University... and not much else.
Raleigh, North Carolina, for those of you who didn’t learn geography from the Animaniacs, is the capital of North Carolina and home of national treasure Clay Aiken. I think it was probably not the latter fact that triggered the move. Obviously, the legal market in Raliegh is bigger than in Buies Creek, and students can find more to distract them from the previously mentioned downsides of being in law school in a metropolitan area.
I tried to think of which California law schools should consider making similar moves, but there really aren’t any.
Sure, everybody’s got their complaints. Davis is a cow town. Hastings and USC are in the ghetto. The weather is so nice in San Diego that USD students have trouble getting anything done.
But almost all of the California law schools are conveniently located in or near the major California legal markets of Sacramento, the Bay Area, LA, Orange County and San Diego.
Aside from the University of La Verne College of Law, which is probably just itching to get out of the desert, I think it’s a safe bet we won’t be seeing any California law schools making big moves anytime soon.
