4. A word of caution about Wikipedia

Wikipedia does have great info but sometimes it should not be used as THE ONLY source. Anyone can edit information on wikipedia My school would not accept Wikipedia as a true source of information.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:About

Users should be aware that not all articles are of encyclopedic quality from the start. Indeed, many articles start their lives as partisan, and it is after a long process of discussion, debate and argument, that they gradually take on a neutral point of view reached through consensus. Others may for a while become caught up in a heavily unbalanced viewpoint which can take some time - months perhaps - to extricate themselves and regain a better balanced consensus. In part, this is because Wikipedia operates an internal resolution process when editors cannot agree on content and approach, and such issues take time to come to the attention of more experienced editors.

7. I think you're wrong.

Wikipedia says 39% don't pass, which is still high, but not unusual for a shitty law school.

60% not passing is almost unheard of.
