    Two former students were tossed for not maintaining a 2.0 GPA after their first year and now they're suing.

    Story is clearly fake. No Asian has ever gotten a D in school.

    Yikes. TSU is a terrible law school.

    One of the worst opposing counsels I've ever met was from that school. He was clueless about due order of pleadings, wore a Simpson's tie to court, asked pointless questions in the deposition, and threatened to seek sanctions against a colleague after a motion to compel backfired on him.

    Better to re-take the LSAT and at least get into decent Texas schools like UH and Texas Tech.

    Not an expert, but if I had to guess, TSU's law school is horrible. Probably bottom of the barrel. It seems to me his UH degree didn't prepare him very well.

    That makes perfect sense, the guy who goes to the crappy law school can't cut it, therefore his university ill prepared him.

    Law schools have accreditations and standards to abide by. They're all difficult to a certain degree. What that has to do with where he went for undergrad is beyond me. Haters gonna hate.

    TSU's law school is a not that bad second tier by some standards.

    tsu's bar passage is the lowest in texas...if you were to attend law school and tsu's your only choice, you'd be better off not going at all.

    I didn't even know a 2.0 was considered passing. I know nothing about law school but most of the graduate programs I am familiar with will boot you instantly for lower than 3.0 to 3.25 at any time and kick you down to Masters degree track for getting a C in any class no matter your GPA.

    First off I was making a joke about him unable to get a job. UH undergrad is much better than TSU Law

    but...

    when you see a student with a undergraduate degree flame out hard instantly in a bottom rung grad school, something smells.

    Most law schools have a 3.0 stipulation for scholarship money. However, it's difficult to release students for under a 3.0 because of the curved competitive grading in most classes leads to a percentage of students inevitably having under a 3.0 gpa. Your grades are determined by how well you did in relation to your classmates.
