Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes s often-quoted observation is reflected in many aspects of the program at the University of St. Thomas School of Law.
Legal education is what many refer to as a people game.
In a law school, faculty people train student people to represent future client people. Obviously, then, people are central to the success of any law school. That is easier said than done. In particular, it can be a challenge for a law school admissions program to identify which candidates will turn out to be great students and someday great lawyers. At many law schools, predictions of a candidate s future success are based almost solely on quantitative measures.
