(37,182 posts)The 4 years that you would spend in law school would in essence cover the current three years of law school plus an additional year. Also, recall that I want HS school extended to two years. In those extra years, students can take rigorous classes akin to the first two years of an undergrad program today.
So, under my plan, a student would get their Liberal Arts education for free in High School. Then, they would apply for a vocational law school, and if accepted would spend 4 years studying the law. After that they would enter an apprenticeship program. The apprenticeship program could be working for a judge, or a state legislator, or U.S. senator, or a governor of a state, or a non-profit, etc.
After a year or so, the student would be able to sit for the state bar exam with little to no extraordinary debt compared to the path today.
