Ethan Haines Hunger Strike

Law School Transparency has no official relationship with Mr. Haines and has neither endorsed nor encouraged any supporter to engage in a hunger strike. That said, his personal decision to engage in a hunger strike demonstrates the seriousness of the issue and the growing demand for law schools to improve their disclosure practices.

    Scam

    Ethan Haines’ real name is Zenovia Evans.

    From USA Today:

    “Though her website says she is unemployed, Evans is an independent contractor (which means no benefits) for a personal injury law firm, earning about $600 a week to hone her legal skills while also pursuing an MBA at the University of Colorado in Denver.

    Evans says she was scheduled to take the bar exam in July, but postponed it to next February. She decided instead to stay in in London (on a study abroad program). “I didn’t see the sense of following the beaten path of graduation to practice without stopping to access if that is the best career move or just what you are ‘supposed’ to do,” she tells me.”
