University of North Texas Law - Delayed Opening

Dallas' proposed newest law school pushed it's opening back to Fall 2013. See http://untsystem.unt.edu/lawschool-2/index.html

Budget woes in Texas are straining the finances available for this proposed publicly funded law school.

It doesn't appear that Texas' Tenth (10th) law school will be opening too soon.

For you lemmings out there, public schools actually have budget constraints and financial concerns to consider when it comes to financing a publicly funded school. On the other hand, private law schools which charge anywhere from $25,000 to $45,000 per student (just for tuition), can simply add another sheep or two to the flock to cover the budget. I was once told by a FTT (Fourth Tier Toilet) law student that the first year class at her FTT school had been expanded so much that law students didn't even have a desk to sit at in first year classes like contracts and civil procedure. That's right, law students were sitting in folding metal chairs like you'd see at a church revival for the price of $25,000+ dollars.

Best wishes UNT, if in fact you are intending to provide a cost-effective legal education to aspiring Texas lawyers of the future.
