God Told Her That YOU Should Pay For Her Law Degree
By Joe Patrice

When it comes to paying for law school, most of us fill out paperwork to secure shiny loans that haunt us for years to come. ... And then we see something like this:

God asked me to go to Law School for the good of the Kingdom of God. Help me raise $28,500 by 5/1/15! ... However, I will not be attending your average law school.


Well, that’s a horse of another color! It’s not that you want a law degree without having to suffer the consequences of your actions, it’s that God wants it. Nothing reflects the model of Jesus Christ more than getting what you want without suffering at all.

Let’s check out this plea for a free law school education — complete with its own movie trailer!

As begging goes, Operation Law School is a pretty impressive effort. It’s the work of 20-something Julianna, who returned from her work as a missionary in Africa knowing that God wanted her in a courtroom. There’s a trailer and everything:




So which law school is it?

Regent is the work of televangelist Pat Robertson, selected by ATL readers as Yale Law School’s most disgraceful graduate. Robertson took a break from publicly wishing SCOTUS justices would die and buddying up to known war criminals to found a college complete with a law school dedicated to churning out underqualified conservative attorneys to fill political appointments in Republican administrations. The law school boasts impressive alumni like Monica Goodling, so take that Yale.


"Julianna" is Julianna E. Battenfield.

that needs to be destroyed is best destroyed from within by incompetent political hacks.

If the republicans get their way, we'll be applying for refugee status in Gaza.
