Back when some older - ahem, more experienced - attorneys that I know were in law school at Duquesne (in the early 1990s), the school was far different.
The biggest issue at the school was whether to spend $$$ repainting the student lounge area or improving the library. They chose to improve the student lounge, since it would be the cheapest way to make the school look better to the accreditation committee.
Robert Barker is a relic of that style of law school leadership. While he is a brilliant constitutional mind, that doesn't validate his opinion on how to run a law school. Especially now.
