GSO Law
So many good things are happening in downtown Greensboro that it's hard to keep count.
But the soon-to-open Elon University Law School on Greene Street is one of the most significant.
The editorial staff met with Dean Leary Davis Tuesday and toured the facility. It's first-class from the bottom floor to the top.
As Davis was showing off one of the new classrooms, a workman's boom box was playing an oldies station.
"Baby, everything is all right, uptight, outta sight," Stevie Wonder sang in the background.
Indeed.

Where's the need for more lawyers/ambulance chasers in our society? Haven't we got enough lawyers already? Our countries ratio is something like 250 souls for every lawyer. The highest in the civilized world.
According to a report I heard years ago, Japan will only permit several hundred law graduates per year, for obvious reasons, frivolous lawsuits.
Elon U might have made the place a medical research or training facility in order to provide future healthcare for old farts like me and our growing population of elderly.

Comparatively speaking, Davis told us, North Carolina produces relatively fewer numbers of lawyers from among its in-state population.
Last year, he said, most who took the Bar exam in North Carolina were from out-of-state for the first time.
I guess you could still argue that, either way, there are still too many of them.
