Yehsiva Guy: I don’t that they look down on Touro degrees per se. However, the reality is that grades are inflated in Touro and there is no strict grading curve. Consequently, if you graduate, lets say, with a 3.95 GPA from Touro (I say this from experience), the transcripts sent to law schools you apply to wont place you in the tope 1-5% of your class. Your more likely to be somewhere around 25% (idh the exact breakdown). So while a Touro degree may not be a disadvantage, you will likely face the disadvantage of a hight GPA not being a good supporting supplement for your LSAT score. Often an unusually high GPA will get you into a school where your LSAT is below average, but with a Touro GPA you may well lose out on that chance.
