We were suitably impressed by the recent announcement by Thompson Rivers University of a new law school, which brings to three the number of law schools in B.C. However, we feel compelled to note the following: Famous Lawyers Who Never Went to Law School Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), president. Clarence Darrow (1857-1938), a defence attorney in the Scopes trial of 1925. While he attended a law school for one year, he did not distinguish himself and preferred to study law on his own. He received the greater part of his education in a law office in Youngstown, O. (From The Book of Lists by Wallechinsky, Wallace and Wallace)
