Even if it’s not the best law school in America, the University of Silicon Valley Law School has — at the very least — the worst best law school website in America. Just look at that eagle! And I love the grandiose message on the alumni page:
In the course of human events and nations, virtually everything we can see, feel or hear is directly or indirectly touched by the law. It can be the skies, streams, oceans, mountains and forests, roads and bridges, music and the arts, skyscrapers or schools, computers, cars, even the air we breathe or the food we eat. Through the annals of time, the Earth has become ever more governed by the laws of man.
That really stirs my soul.
Rock on, ASL!
Runner up may go to Appalachian School of Law, with its clipart school seal and guitar-playing 3Ls in suits. At least there’s no mention of the food we eat.
California Southern Law School also deserves an honorable mention for its “grey, absolutely no pictures allowed” theme. It definitely captures the soul-crushing spirit of law school well. The school loses points, however, because the Dean says that “the study of law is a valuable quest.” No, pirate treasure hunts are valuable quests. Law school is a painful rite of passage ending in the student being spewed out into the world with no practical skills and an enormous debt load. How come that’s not on the website?

Wow. Normally I just make fun of law school websites the fact that they all seemed to be engaged in a “let’s see who can shove the most pictures of minorities onto the homepage” competition. (Fewer than three, and you’re an outlier.)
But those three are just horrendous. Surely in all of Silicon Valley they could have found someone to do a better job?
