I don’t claim to be an expert, but from what I hear there are very few part time law options that are decently ranked.
From what I am told, full time programs limit students to 20 hours per week, and most require no work your first year.
Loyola has a part time program, but they have a reputation of being a pretty good law school surrounded by a lot of really great law schools. Unless in the top of your class your job prospects are pretty slim, or so I hear.
Georgetown has a part time program, and they are in the top 14. I would consider doing that without a doubt. The only thing I have heard, but is completely hearsay, is that the PT grads aren’t taken as seriously as the full time grads by the law firms. I don’t know if it’s true or not…
Anyway, I wish there were more options for a measured approach. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
