Two of the newest law schools to join the ABA’s fold are located in California: the University of La Verne, a private law school in Ontario (a city in California’s “Inland Empire”), and the University of California at Irvine, a public law school. Though fewer than fifty miles apart, their ambitions couldn’t diverge more: La Verne merely aspires to serve its nearby residents while UC-Irvine is boldly trying to be “the ideal law school for the 21st century,” according to its dean and progenitor, Erwin Chemerinsky. Although the schools justify their goals in very different terms, neither is persuasive and both only add to the number of unemployed law school graduates.
