So would you pay $18K a year for a Law School not even accredited?

LYNCHBURG, Va., Nov. 17 - The class in civil procedure, at the new Liberty School of Law here, began with a prayer.

"The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul," said Prof. Jeffrey C. Tuomala, quoting Psalm 19. "The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple."

But decisions of the United States Supreme Court, Professor Tuomala went on, are not always trustworthy. "Something that is contrary to the law of nature," he said, "cannot be law."

The school, part of Liberty University, whose chancellor is the Rev. Jerry Falwell, is for now a makeshift affair in a vast industrial building that used to be a cellular phone factory. Its students compensate for the surroundings by dressing well - many of the men wore jackets and ties - and by showing attentive enthusiasm, even for a heavy dose of civil procedure at 8 a.m.

The school, which says its mission is to train "ministers of justice," is part of a movement around the nation that means to bring a religious perspective to the law and a moral component to legal practice.

The school is not yet accredited by the American Bar Association, which means its students are taking an enormous risk. If accreditation is not granted by the time they graduate in 2007, they will not be eligible to take the bar examination. Dean Green said the subject kept him awake at night.

Tuition is about $18,000 a year, though several students said they had received generous scholarships.

1. One word:

SUCKAS!!!!!!

People who are so gullible deserve to be shorn of their money. Let's see if any of them get jobs, ever. I doubt it.

However, this idea DOES worry me, some. Faith-based law... WTF?

2. They will finagle some way to get accredited.

And 18K a year is pretty damn cheap, assuming they achieve accretion.

3. Even if it isn't accredited by 2007, they can take it when it does get

accredited. With this administration, it definitely will.
