Possible Solution for Law Schools: Make Year Three Optional

There have been murmurs for some time now, but the discussion about giving law students the option to forgo a third year has been picking up steam. This op-ed piece in the New York Times makes a strong case for the option and it’s one with which I largely agree.

The most obvious reason to favor the optional third year of law school is the reduction of debt.

Reducing that debt by a third would no doubt ease the squeeze a bit.

The Defenders: Catch It On CBS (While You Still Can)

Here at Most Strongly Supported, we try our best to post a new law school / legal related post every day to satisfy your rapacious Pre-Law minds. We want to keep you posted on relevant topics, such as the controversial U.S. News and World Report Law School rankings, who you’re going to meet in law school, and infallible (if not random) LSAT predictions. If you are familiar with Blueprint Prep you also know that we get excited when pop culture and the legal world collide (however soft that collision may be).
