A recent conversation between the deans of various public policy and international affairs schools in Foreign Policy suggested that law degree graduates were faring much better than both doctoral and master’s students in specialty programs such as international studies.

Although the market for “Big Law” is changing because major law firms continue to hire many fewer new graduates than they used to, large corporate law firms are not the only, or even the most common, place for new lawyers to work. Legal education must continue to educate those who seek to serve as legal “problem solvers,” not only in the board room or courtroom, but in all areas of civil society — our legislatures, administrative agencies, schools, workplaces and beyond.

SOLID BRAG!! Oh, and law professors recoil at making it 2 years.

making law school 2 years primarily only helps one group of people-those who attend law school, but don't practice law. those shouldn't be the people we are worried about, but even if you are, it only increases the chances that there are more of them if you make the decision to go to law school less of a commitment in the first place.

Even law school @ 2 years is a joke. Just do what the UK does, get a BA in any subject then take a 1 year "Legal Practice Course".
