>who enroll at the University of California?s new law school in Irvine
>next fall will get their legal education for free.
>The law school is giving full tuition scholarships worth about $100,000
>to its first 2009 class of about 60 students, the National Law Journal
>reports.
>Charles Cannon, assistant dean of development and external affairs
>at the law school, told the publication UC Irvine hopes to attract
>high-quality students with the offer. The free tuition is expected to
>cost the school about $6 million, he said.
>The school is seeking donations to cover the scholarships and has so far
>raised about a third of the money.
>The story also reports that the law school had originally called
>itself the Donald Bren School of Law in honor of a $20 million donor,
>but the school is dropping the name. It will be called the University
>of California, Irvine, a name that is parallel to other UC schools.
