Regent University School of Law grad will publicly display her talents on Wednesday

important reminder...
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE MEMBERS
NOTICE OF HEARING

TIME: 10:15 a.m.
DATE: Wednesday, May 23, 2007
PLACE: 2141 Rayburn House Office Building

Hearing on: The Continuing Investigation into the U.S. Attorneys Controversy and Related Matters.

Witness: Monica Goodling, former Justice Department White House Liaison
By Direction of the Chairman

i posted on regent school of law back in late march when the attorneygate scandal was picking up steam, but in all of the various pieces of press coverage, i missed something fairly startling...

i did catch this...

Graduates of the law school have been among the most influential of the more than 150 Regent University alumni hired to federal government positions since President Bush took office in 2001...

but somehow this skated right by me...
Regent ... is ranked a "tier four" school by US News & World Report, the lowest score and essentially a tie for 136th place...

[...]

Seven years ago, 60 percent of the class of 1999 -- [Monica] Goodling's class -- failed the bar exam on the first attempt.

let's go ahead and revisit regent... hell, it's a slow sunday evening, right...?

Regent University School of Law


Regent Law School seeks to admit students who are serious about the critical roles they will assume as future counselors, conciliators, defenders of the faith, effective client advocates and followers of Christ.

Strong academic credentials are crucial, but Regent Law also places significant importance on the personal statement and letters of recommendation. The personal statement gives the Admissions Committee insight into the student's motivation for studying law and reveals his or her desire to receive a legal education integrated with Christian principles. Regent Law seeks men and women who are dedicated to becoming Christian leaders who will change the world for Christ.

Why choose Regent? If you are academically qualified and you desire to integrate your faith with your pursuit of a legal education and ultimately the practice of law, we invite you to apply to Regent University School of Law.

it's comforting to know that the justice department is making every effort to recruit and retain the very best, brightest talent available from top tier law schools... best of all, we're going to see first-hand how monica stacks up in just three more days...

Monica Goodling - a Regent Law grad changing the world for Christ

mistakes have been made... crimes may have been committed...
As the liaison between the White House and the Justice Department, Ms. Goodling seems to have been squarely in the middle of what appears to have been improper directions from the White House to politicize the hiring and firing of United States attorneys. Mr. Gonzales has insisted the eight prosecutors were let go for poor performance, and that the dismissals are an “overblown personnel matter.” But Ms. Goodling’s decision to exercise her Fifth Amendment rights suggests that she, at least, believes crimes may have been committed.

several articles on ms. goodling have referenced her graduation from pat robertson's regent university school of law... here's part of regent's message to prospective law students...
