Have to say .. this is no real shocker to me. Nor this.
According to Tara Malone, Sara Olkon and Jodi S. Cohen, writers at The Chicago Tribune, there's an admissions scandal looming - involving the University of Illinois Law School.
Apparently, the law school was (is) under pressure to admit "clouted" students .. students that have lobbyists and government officials working on their behalf.
(There's an idea - hire myself a damn lobbyist).
And, of course, the former governor "G" supposedly put "pressure" on the dean and other people in admissions to scoot in whoever he wanted in.
Emails are surfacing ... secret admission policies... testimony will be taken ... interviews galore happening.
Where is the ABA?
Silent as far as I can tell. Shhh... this story will go away.. it usually does.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch.. students who dream of the law still knocking on the door of justice can't get in the door because of the crowd of politicians' kids, lobbyists efforts, the handful of geniuses who really deserve to be in... mainstream "less than desireable" mid 40 moms with no political connections and no trust fund money backing them? -- not really big chances of making it against the odds of corruption.
Now that would be a story.
Bitter? Little bit.
