U.C- Irvine Law starting with a bang!
I've reported before on the intriguing developments around Dean Erwin Chemerinsky's efforts at the brand-new U.C.-Irvine law school. Now Brian Leiter reports that the qualifications of their very first class are outstanding-- a median of 167 LSAT and 3.65 GPA. (In contrast, Harvard/Yale/Stanford numbers are a little above 170 and 3.85).
The draws for the new students at Irvine include a stellar faculty and free tuition. The latter, of course, is something no other law school can match for all of its students.
It seemed pretty unlikely when Dean Chemerinsky hoped that Irvine would start out as a Top-20 school, but it is starting to seem like much more of a possibility as things progress.

I think the free tuition is just for the intial crop of students. A pretty good deal for them, though.

No, no, no. Not that again! This is just a pro bono project. I will be coming back to DC, probably in June, so we'll have to have lunch then.
