Concordia University is pushing back by one year a plan to open a new law school in Boise, Idaho.
Instead, the Oregon-based Lutheran university now hopes to launch the new law school in the fall of 2011, reports the Idaho Business Review.
Concordia apparently is still in the process of raising some $7 million needed to push forward with the planned law school.
A new law school also is planned in Boise by the University of Idaho, notes the Associated Press. So far, however, the state board of education has permitted the school only to establish a program there for third-year students.

Yes, please Concordia please launch your law school. Now the question is who would be STUPID enough to attend it sans accreditation. I can see it now.
“Pweese Pweese come attend our little ole law school. Drop your hard earned money at the door. We hope that the ABA grants us accreditation so that our grads can actually sit for the bar and get licensed. However if we don’t that’s ok too… we’ll have your money and you’ll have a worthless scrap of paper.”
Good luck with the law school guys!!!
