Students will be entitled to a waiver of tuition and receive a stipend to cover living expenses.

Sure, why not!

TBF, if this was any school other than Yale, I would agree with this statement. I do think Yale is genuinely interested in academic circlejerking though, so this is completely apropos.

if it's free, competition from law burnouts is going to be fucking fierce. In 5 years you'll probably have to have a Yale PhD to get any kind of entry-level academic position if you're not a HYS grad.

But why are law schools, as employers, demanding this sort of idiocy?

Because legal academia is serious business, and not utter bullshit. So allowing potential academics a way to concentrate on their scholarship is exactly what they should be doing. Unless legal academia actually is complete bullshit, then the program is a ridiculous waste of time, money, and effort.

"The Doctor of the Science of Law (J.S.D.) program is open only to LL.M. graduates of the Yale Law School."

I don't know what the purpose of that limitation is.
