Unsuccessful criminal trend of the month

By:

A woman was arrested Tuesday at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport after customs agents found 2.5 lbs. of cocaine concealed in her bra. The woman put the drug in two separate bags designed to blend in with her bra, according to customs agents.

If two bags are good, 19 is apparently not better; a Massachusetts woman was arrested Aug. 16 with that many packages of crack cocaine concealed in her bra. Detectives saw the woman holding one bag in her hand, after which she revealed the others under her shirt.

I guess you could say the women were bust-ed.

UM Law is a good value, rankings say

By:

The University of Maryland School of Law gives students a lot for their money, according to new rankings.

According to a “best value” list by The National Jurist magazine, the school ranks 48th in bang-for-your-buck. The publication assessed institutions based on tuition, bar pass rate and percentage of employed graduates. The schools on the list are, unsurprisingly, state schools.

Maryland’s value ranking more or less matches its U.S. News & World Report ranking, 43. What’s interesting is how many of the high-ranking value schools, such as 1st place North Carolina Central, 3rd place Nebraska and 5th place Mississippi, are in U.S. News’ third or fourth tier.

By the way, Maryland also makes the magazine’s list of the top schools for students who want to do public-interest work, as does the University of Baltimore School of Law. Maryland is 7 and Baltimore is 14. Neither school places on the list of law schools with the most diverse faculty.
