Law schools heed the call for 2-year degree
Look For Innovations for Modern-Age Legal Careers
Earlier this month, United States President Barack Obama noted during a speech that it would “probably be wise” for law schools to veer away from a three-year juris doctor program and implement opportunities for students to earn a law degree within two years. Brooklyn Law School (BLS) was ahead of Obama’s curve, having announced plans for a two-year program in May.
With Obama forcing the topic into national discourse, BLS recently hosted a panel discussion on a shorter law program and other innovations to reduce the cost of a legal education and ways to prepare new lawyers for the new world ahead.
