ABSTRACT
This chapter suggests that a heightened critique places the fault squarely at the feet of the institutions. It provides a qualitative study to gain more nuanced information about African American males’ experiences in law school and afterwards. The chapter focuses on Omi and Winant’s theory of racial formation and their guidance of race as a continual political process and struggle. Rock State University School of Law (RSU) is a more-selective law school, whereas Rock City University School of Law (RCU) is a less-selective law school. RSU’s website seemed more colorful and vibrant. RCU’s website seemed to provide more text that invited the reader into the website, and, subsequently, the school. The chapter utilizes NVIVO in the coding process. It reviews the former student transcripts to determine what level of support for the faculty themes could be found in the former student data.
