Quick I need to become a lawyer ! Now you can be in twenty four months . http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1122835,00.html
Oh, the irony. My old law school keeps figuring out ways to market itself. Maybe, if the school spent a bit more time doing things right they would not have to come up with these marketing ploys. By the way the faculty are mostly the same bunch of racist, incompetent slobs as when I went there. This Law School sucks, specially if you are a minority. The sad thing is that their business school was awesome in every sense of the word.
Miguel, I used to live as well in Dayton, actually in Certerville. I have great memories of my days there. The University of Dayton was back then a school with a solid reputation in the area. I am sad to hear they made such an impression on you. You should have tried then WSU, a fine public school in the area, which I think it had law school. Regards
Actually, I got my Bachelor at UD and I loved it in every sense of the word. In fact the Business School was so good that I pased up going to several other law schools that admited me to go there. When I talk negativelly of the law school, you should know it is a separate entity than the rest of UD. I was aware of their two and a half year program and I think it is more B.S.. For example, their so called cyber crimes "expert" was a professor there back when I went there. She does not know her way around a PC much less the Internet to be called an expert. Just because someone writes a couple of articles is not enough to be an "expert". And so on. I loved UD as an undergrad school. I still go to visit the campus from time to time at homecoming. But, I call it like I see it. As a side issue, WSU does not have a law school but they do have a medical school. Anyway, that is in the past. But sometimes when I hear the law school mentioned it brings back very painful memories and I let out some steam. Take Care...
I'd have done it, I think. They haven't really reduced it by a full year. Instead, they shaved off a semester. Same number of semester hours required, too. Let's see...the average J.D. takes about 84 s.h....in six semesters, that's 14 hours per semester. Now, 84 hours in five semesters...17 s.h. per semester or essentially another full class. And no summers off? It could be done. If this option had been available to me, it would have saved me a few thousands of dollars. I'd likely have gone for it.
ABA approved Southwestern Law School has offered a two calendar year JD program for over 30 years, the SCALE Program.
