What do Belmont University and the Government of India have in common? Both are starting new law schools. For Belmont see http://www.chattanoogan.com/articles/article_160497.asp . You can find India's announcement at http://www.livemint.com/2009/10/08234235/Government-to-set-up-four-law.html?h=B .
Belmont's announcement combines outdated projections on the need for lawyers (doesn't anyone in Nashville read Above the Law (http://abovethelaw.com/ )?) with institutional palaver. Given my limited time in India I can't say that four new law school are four too many but nonetheless I suspect the decision to create even more competition for low-end American legal work was motivated more by politics than a concern for justice.
