The school will only give C or C+ so you can't transfer.

They have every arogant teacher that can't teach.

They give exams on subjects they don't teach.

The school is not held any respectable esteem.

They bring student in and milk them for as along as they get the money.

I stopped wasting my time and money…I'll talke the LSATS and will go to NE or Suffolk at least they're respected.

commentI agree with you. It is very odd the way they try to give everyone Cs and they do enforce that.
responseA quick review of your writing sample is a good indicator of why you shouldn't be attending law school at all.
commentI agree with MSL being a bad choice of schools. I have known people to have graduated from there and not able to find jobs nor even be considered for a job because its not an accredited law school. Most people that graduate will need to find employment by themselves or rent an office solo or create a partnership. I have also noticed that the school does not require LSAT scores ,but instead uses there own essay writing exam to determine ones admission into the law school. Once the student is enrolled and starts law school another writing exam is given that weighs heavy upon there first year writing class grade. If the student scores low and has a low grade then the school suddenly says, Oh its your writing , that why your grades are C and not A or B. When in fact, the school should have identified that writing problem before the student was ever admitted thus leading them to failure and causing them to pay the cost for tuition either out of pocket or accruing large student loan debt. Which leaves them 1). Unable to complete there degree by not being able to transfer to another school and 2) leaving them with large debt where they did not get what they had originally bargained for and that was a degree leading to a job. So who is at the risk of losing the student or the law school? The student is at risk of losing because the school has already taken your money.
commentIn addition to my last comment, I would like to include the fact that Massachusetts School of Law requires each prospective student to complete a written essay there at the school as part of the admission criteria. The admission committee reviews the prospective applicants application, references and WRITING SAMPLE ESSAY, which is part of MSL admission criteria to review to determine a prospective students eligibility for admission. Therefore, Massachusetts School of Law does require and determines each person writing ability before acceptance into the program. For this reason, its ironic that Massachusetts School of Law should later say that a student who gets a C grade has something wrong with writing essays. Massachusetts School of Law already determined the prospective student writing ability before the student was accepted. So how after the student is enrolled and paid for tuition receives a C grade and has something wrong with there writing ability??

My point is, there is nothing wrong with the student writing ability otherwise the student would have never been admitted into the law school. It appears to be an excuse for weeding people out of the law school reasons other than the writing ability.
I went to MSL at Andover in 2014, and as the writers above stated, the professors at the school are truly arrogant, self centered and non teachable. They do not hire enough staff so the present professors can receive and pocket a higher salary. Their ability to teach is little to none, it is more of I got mine you try to get yours. The writing department do not properly teach you how to IRAC your papers so you can take your exams properly and get a good grade for what you have studied. I learned that if you do not IRAC your answers properly then you grades become a failure. IRAC is a difficult concept that most students will face and yet the English department kicks you to the curb. Then you end up getting penalize for not properly doing your IRAC on the exams. I took many writing courses in college, actually English was my second major so my writing skills are great, but the IRAC system is a system that requires you to learn it properly & it takes some getting use too especially if you wrote differently when you worked as an officer as a civilian and the military for many years. which are all different approaches. I noticed that one of the professor in particularly used the writing class as a method of the getting rid of the students she did not like because she was very bias, but she was a good actor acting as if she was not bias. I did great at my university I attended and leaving MSL was the best thing for me because of the high sense of evilness I felt while at the school as if you had to be part of the club. And I worked in the criminal justice system for years and attending MSL was the next best thing in dealing with the evilness I encountered in the criminal justice system. The mean spirited self centered profesors and their teachings were horrible. The graduating rate of the minorities coming out of that school are extremely low, more like 3 to 5 minorities graduating, but when you look at the admitting in coming minority freshman's are extremely high. This is a catastrophic abuse and something should be done, thru the justice department, etc. I am glad they are not ABA approved or they will not get away with their money hustling schemes. Having students leave owing students loans for nothing, I am glad I am still continuing my law degree at another law school, of which I have learned the IRAQ approach even better with a caring staff. I have seen some pretty dumb students who are political correct that are still there, I am sure every body knows what I mean. To make a long story short, the schools sole interest is recruiting anyone and admitting anyone for the sole purpose of keeping their institution financially floating. In other words, they are in the business of pooling in as much unqualified students as well as qualified students for the simple purpose of taking their money/student loan, with under staff personnel. They are not in the business of teaching you. I think the students who left should file a class action law suit.
