Regent University 

Christian university started by televangelist Pat Robertson. Originally called "CBN University" (interestingly named after the TV channel), the goal of this institution is to turn out Christian Neoconservative drones in hopes of putting them into positions of power (such as in DC, Hollywood, news media, etc.). This became apparent after the Monica Goodling scandal, which revealed hundreds of Regent grads working in the Bush Administration. Most of the classes at Regent focus on applying right-wing Christian ideals to politics, law, and the media.

Regent considers its law school to be better than that of Harvard, yet it is so poorly ranked it's a joke. A degree from Walden University will get you more job opportunities than a degree from this place. It is ranked lower than a ttt and its students' reviews are even worse. However, the people at Regent know this, which is why they create massive amounts of propaganda to make the school look better than it is. They like to brag about beating Harvard Law students in competitions, but when it comes to who gets the better careers after school, Regent alumni can hardly get up there.

By the way, John Ashcroft is now a Regent faculty. That alone should make you think.

Marty: I'm going to UPenn. Where are you going?

Timmy: Sucks. My parents are making me go to Regent University, because they think if I go anywhere else I'll turn into a dirty liberal hippie who wears keffiyehs and protests capitalism.

Marty: Man, that really blows.

Timmy: Yeah. They want me to be a lawyer, so they tell me I have to stay at Regent for law school, too.

Marty: Well, good luck working McDonald's for the rest of your life.

Regent University School of Law 

An unranked conservative Christian "law school," founded by ultra-crazy televangelist Pat Robertson, that charges students tens of thousands of dollars a year to tell them all about how the law is really based on Jesus. They are so desperate for legitimacy that they wrote a rambling entry on Urban Dictionary talking about how great they are, inadvertently showing the caliber of their future students--after all, if you make your decision about law school based on an Urban Dictionary entry, you deserve to go to Regent.

Joe: I'm going to Regent University School of Law. The professors are the same quality as Virginia, the people are more laid back than at Yale, the people aren't as viciously competitive like at Duke, and it's fifteen minutes from the beach.

Tim: Seriously? How dumb are you? Do you realize that Regent is an unranked, festering, neoconservative craphole that provides less than a 50% chance of actually getting a job as a lawyer upon graduation?

Sally: Not only that, but you do realize it was founded by Pat Robertson, right? You know, the guy who blamed the Haiti earthquake on a pact they made with the devil, and agreed with Jerry Falwell that pagans, gays, feminists, and abortion supporters were responsible for 9-11?

Joe: Ha! Nah, I'm just messing with you guys. Seriously, why would anyone go to Regent?

Regent University School of Law 

A small, private, Christian law school located in Virginia Beach, VA. Though the law school's rank is not published by the U.S. News and World Report, Regent routinely beats top schools including Harvard, Yale, and the University of Virginia in intercollegiate Moot Court and Negotiation competitions. Also despite its low ranking, Regent Law attracts many students who have passed on acceptances from Top 25 law schools who choose Regent because of the conservative, faith-based atmosphere. For this reason, Regent is generally considered a "national" rather than a "regional" law school, unlike most other bottom tier schools. The law school was founded by Christian minister and Yale Law School graduate, Rev. Pat Robertson.

Just under half of Regent's graduates enter private practice, but a large portion of its graduates place in government positions in the Washington, D.C. market. Monica Goodling, the subject of the controversial 2006 U.S. Attorney's dismissals, and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell are graduates of Regent Law.

The law school's faculty is comprised of nationally renowned legal scholars educated at Harvard, Yale, Chicago, Virginia, Georgetown, Duke, and Texas, among others. Having faculty members from such top legal institution is not common at most lower tier law schools. Some of the most notable faculty include former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft and nationally recognized Evidence Law expert Prof. James J. Duane.

Joe: I'm trying to decide between Yale Law School, the University of Virginia School of Law, Duke Law School, and Regent University School of Law.

Tim: Obviously go to Yale.

Sally: Just go to the highest ranked school.

Joe: I'm going to visit them, meet the professors, and see what I like.

(Three weeks later...)

Joe: I'm going to Regent. The professors are the same quality as Virginia, the people are more laid back than at Yale, the people aren't as viciously competitive like at Duke, and it's fifteen minutes from the beach.
