An email sent to Liberty University School of Law students over the weekend:

An email sent to Liberty University School of Law students over the weekend lays out, in refreshingly unvarnished terms, what the administration's hiring pipeline actually looks like. And it's exactly as bad as everyone suspected:

The two most important requirements are you MUST be aligned politically with President Trump and his administration and you must be willing to work hard. Don't be scared off by the transcript requirement. GPA is not a strong factor. If you meet those two requirements, you have a shot.

Hiring the dregs of Liberty Law School for the DOJ is the legal equivalent of drafting 13-year-olds into the infantry

4. Don't forget family values

[Blue Owl]

5. Trumpery University: No Thinking Allowed

[nuxvomica]

6. So they want a pro-Trump AND hard-working person?

They might as well ask for unicorns.

[William Seger]

7. And if you're completely incompetent, you have a shot at the cabinet. (nt)

[SergeStorms]

8. You can have the intelligence equal to a bag full of hair....

but if you worship Orange Jebus, you're golden! 👍

We'll tell you what to think, and individuality will be punished severely.

Have a Trumptastic day!

[TommyT139]

32. "Bag full of hair"

...is actually the application fee!

[Martin68]

9. LOL, The Race to the Bottom. Government by Brainwashed Mediocrity.

[Rob H.]

10. "GPA is not a strong factor."

Pretty sure any potential applicant who's been paying attention already knows that.

[reACTIONary]

33. Unfortuntly...

"paying attention" and "already knows" is not the skill set they are looking for. Got to tell them outright or they don't get it.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

11. Liberty University was ironically named to begin with.... NT

13. align yourself

and be prepared to support and approve President Pedophile.

[Marcuse]

14. The United States of America. An unequal opportunity employer.

[Initech]

18. We now live in TrumpFoxistan. WTF.

[calimary]

20. Oh dear God, SHE went there???

I bet they offer several courses in makeup application. (The only “form” you’ll ever have to fill out, honey!)

[Marcuse]

38. Nah, she went to Miami (FL).

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. Admitting to incompetence

No wonder they keep losing in court.

[Historic NY]

16. They seem to be hitting the bottom of the barrel over at DOJ

they have the batch that never mastered spell check 101, filing motions

[Initech]

17. Holy fucking shit. That is insane.

Fuck Liberty University to the hottest of hells.

[RainCaster]

19. They just devalued their education

A degree from that place is now worthless to anyone other than a MAGAt.

[3catwoman3]

21. "GPA is not a strong factor."

How embarrassing to even admit that.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

22. Liberty law school is a tier 3 law school

Liberty is rank as the 141st strongest law school https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/liberty-university-03196 The major law firms would not interview at this school. It is sad that the DOJ is hiring from this law school

[mahatmakanejeeves]

24. To be fair, it was tied for 141st out of 195, a five-way tie at that.

Liberty University is ranked No. 141 (tie) out of 195 in Best Law Schools. Schools were assessed on their performance across a set of widely accepted indicators of excellence.

It managed to come in dead last for criminal law.

Law School Rankings
#141 in Best Law Schools (tie)

Law School Specialty Rankings
#176 in Business/Corporate Law (tie)
#185 in Clinical Training
#188 in Constitutional Law (tie)
#180 in Contracts/Commercial Law (tie)
#195 in Criminal Law
#183 in Environmental Law (tie)
#183 in Health Care Law (tie)
#185 in Intellectual Property Law (tie)
#180 in International Law (tie)
#145 in Tax Law (tie)
#73 in Trial Advocacy (tie)

Once you get past the three schools tied for 175, there's no further attempt at ranking. The remaining schools are listed only as 178 - 195.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

25. No major law firm will be interviewing at this school

[Ilsa]

36. Only #141? Seems like it should be much lower since

it was worse in so many specialties.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

37. I couldn't figure that out either. Other factors must have come into play. NT

[KPN]

23. LOL! I can't help it. This is absolutely pitiful. This place is a university? Nah ... it's a clown school.

[MIButterfly]

26. These are the people who are against Affirmative Action and DEI

because reasons? And this is an effing LAW SCHOOL? Lord have mercy.

I can't with this. I just can't.

[tanyev]

27. How about being aligned with, y'know, the law?

[walkingman]

28. This does not apply just for the Trump administration - I have two cousins that graduated

from Liberty U and one is no a Texas Senate lawyer and he husband is a Gov. Abbott aide and the other now works for a Texas GOP Senator. They love these MAGA leaning lawyers and Liberty is a perfect resource for them.

Maybe politics have always been a fertile ground for new lawyers, but I know for a fact that it was a big influence in their decision to attend Liberty - btw, they are both White Christian Nationalists.

[Dawson Leery]

29. GPA was never a factor for the Cons.

[Buddyzbuddy]

30. In fact, those exhibiting intelligence and independent thinking are frowned upon and need not apply.

Nothing but the best people.

[JHB]

31. "It's not what you know, it's WHO you know"

Y'know, the opposite of "diversity, equity, and inclusion." Also the opposite of "meritocracy."

[orleans]

34. you can be a fucking idiot as long as you're a trumper and ... POOF! you're hired! nt

[Vinca]

35. Yike! They have a law school??? Please don't let them have a medical school.

[pstokely]

39. yep, training quacks for RFK JR
