    The Site in Question is lsulaw.com.

    Now maybe we can do what the school wants to do and take down the site with a good slashdotting.

    When lawyers sue lawyers, no one wins.

    No, wait. That makes them too busy to sue any of us. So I guess all of us win!

    This is an outrage!
    You have posted a link to a NYT article without saying (free registration blah, blah, blah). This is near criminal negligence. How many will suffer this morning, hungering for their daily dose of corporate/institutional war on our rights, when they click on the link innocently, thinking they will soon be in righteous indignation heaven, only to be confronted by, by, by...... a LOGIN?
    Oh the humanity! For shame.

    I always wondered what end-year projects were at law schools. In engineering schools, it is something like 'write a filesystem', or 'implement a scheme interpreter'.

    In law school it is 'sue your co-worker' and 'defend agains frivolous lawsuit'.

    Make sense. The guy will have a top resume if he succeed.

    He's a law student, in the middle of exams-- surely LSU have just set him a practical? :-)

    "...a law school is not an island unto itself but the hub of a network of relationships with an array of audiences beyond its walls."

    Just don't deep link deep link to their hub of a network.
