My teenage daughters have been “forcing” me to watch every episode of a series called Once Upon a Time. The first season of the series involves the main character’s attempt to remove a dark curse that has befallen the citizens of her town.
Last week brought great news for the Charleston School of Law community. The announcement that Ed Bell would be a new owner of the law school, and that he would serve as president of the school was almost a story book happy ending, and a new beginning. Mr. Bell, who has an outstanding reputation for his philanthropy and service, is going to convert the school to a non-profit entity. He will be paid $1 a year.
There are still abundant challenges every law school must face in these transitional times for legal education and the legal profession, but the Charleston School of Law will have a much better chance to survive and thrive, now that the dark curse on the school has been removed.
