Solicitation Letters to Prospective Transfer Students

[posted by Bill Henderson]

A reporter for the ABA Journal has contacted me for a storyon uptick in transfer students.  She has dug up a lot of information onthis topic.  Although she has heard a lot of rumors that some lawschools directly solicit rising 1Ls from other law schools, at thispoint they are all rumors from lots of law school administrators.

If any reader has any concrete evidence of direct solicitation of transfer students, the reporter, Leslie Gordon, would love to hear from you.  (It would be great if you would cc me, as I would love to see the evidence as well.)  Thanks.
