Charleston Law's Owners Issue Dynamite Charge

"Heartbroken" owners of Charleston Law, Robert Carr and George Kosko, threatened to stop admitting new students to the law school this fall.  I say threatened because the press release was titled "Law school considering options for new class of students."  Carr and Kosko wanted to sell the school to InfiLaw, though InfiLaw has backed away from the deal following opposition from bureaucrats in Columbia.  Carr and Kosko's co-owner, Ed Westbrook wants to turn the school into a non-profit.  I'm guessing that the situation has reached a stalemate and the two owners, who are presumably highly motivated to spur action lest they bleed money with no hope of a sale, opted for the non-judicial equivalent of a dynamite charge.

I suspect that InfiLaw backed away not because of opposition from "bureaucrats," but because they see the writing on the wall with declining enrollments, and do not see this as a good investment. As for the "dynamite charge," as long as Charleston Law allows current students to graduate, I do not see this as so terrible.

The owners are still hoping the State of South Carolina will pony up and open a second state law school, probably attached to the College of Charleston.
