South Texas Law Changes Name To Houston College Of Law

The presser is here.  Dean Leonard Baynes of the University of Houston Law worries about brand confusion here.  The ABA Journal tacitly accepts US News as the official law school ranking organization in its headline here.

Value Jet crashed at least twice and once spectacularly into the Florida Everglades. It became Air Tran after the crash. This is one way to white wash a bad reputation for crashing.

You Prawfs and Deans are too polite. I know, you don't want to criticize your RANK NOT PUBLISHED diploma mill colleagues for this type of conduct. Cooley is now Western Michigan and Phoenix (If YOU only had a brain commercial) in now Arizona Summit.

Looks like a trademark violation to me. Test is likelihood of consumer confusion. Here you have two law schools in the same city with very similar names.

A year or so ago, TFL posted rankings based on a study of the percentage of graduates employed in jobs requiring a JD by a certain deadline, and South Texas was in the top 25 per cent. Depends on who is doing the rankings, I guess.
