Is the Two-Year Path Right for You? A Deeper Look at the Life of a SCALE Student

After a presentation from Dean Knolton, who will explain how our program works, we’ll introduce you to four students who are fulfilling their J.D. requirements in just two years. In addition to graduating a year sooner than most other J.D. candidates, you’ll learn how our SCALE students benefit from these foundational features of the 2-year program: Experience: With a guaranteed externship in the final quarter and additional opportunities for hands-on legal work through externships, labs, clinics, and more, SCALE students graduate with myriad practical skills and a robust resume Leadership: SCALE students balance classwork with leadership opportunities that grow their professional skills, expand their networks, and put them at the forefront of their peers Community: As members of a small cohort, SCALE students band together to support each other and form strong bonds that support their work through law school and beyond.
