Patrents' Excuse for Refusing to Cosign Law School Loan "not good enough" for This Student-Dear Abby

[bluebayou]

You need to know where the kid is going to know the level of risk. Parents refusing to co-sign loans for, say, Columbia would strike me as likely unreasonable.

Not sure I agree. Someone who can get accepted into Columbia Law would receive plenty of merit offers from others in the T14. Besides Wachtell and Cravath, there is no real advantage to attending CLS or say, Virginia or Duke or Northwestern.
