Law school where small is beautiful: at tiny Washington and Lee, No. 1 in student satisfaction, they're actually happy

Article Abstract:

The Washington and Lee University School of Law has achieved a national reputation for student satisfaction, and was recently ranked first in that area by a survey of 165 schools. A small student body, 360 in all, with only 11 students per faculty member, a relatively uncompetitive atmosphere, and the professors' emphasis on individual students all contribute. The largest first-year class is 60 students, and first-year papers are graded by professors. The school is in Lexington, VA, a town of 7,500 near Roanoke.

Antitrust professor bequeaths $5M to his 'intellectual home.' (Phillip Areeda, Harvard Law School)

Article Abstract:

Legendary antitrust law professor Phillip Areeda caused a stir recently by giving Harvard Law School a bequest of $5 million. Areeda has been with Harvard since the age of 17 as student and teacher. He attributes the sum's size to his frugal lifestyle, but most observers suspect he came by the money through lucrative consulting for outside companies at rates of $10,000 a day or more. Doctors recently diagnosed Areeda with leukemia, reducing his interest in saving for retirement.
