Elon University School of Law has announced the creation of a new curriculum that will be the nation’s first standard JD program lasting less than three years. The North Carolina program will operate on a seven-trimester (or 2½-year) schedule, which will allow students to graduate in December, take the bar exam in February and begin practicing in the spring. The school will also lower its tuition, which now totals about $114,000 over three years, by about $14,000 for the entire program of study. The ABA Journal has more.
