Brooklyn Law creates first two-year J.D. program
First in the NYC Metro area
The board of trustees of Brooklyn Law School (“BLS”) on Tuesday night approved an accelerated two-year J.D. program beginning in summer 2014.
With the creation of the program, BLS will be able to offer a range of flexible 2-, 2.5-, 3-, 3.5-or 4-year options—called “Brooklyn 2-3-4”—to adapt to prospective students’ needs. Brooklyn Law School is the first in the New York metropolitan area to enable students to earn a J.D. in two years.
The new two-year offering is designed for select students seeking a rigorous legal education in an abbreviated timeframe. Candidates interested in this type of program might be, for example: 1) mid-life or mid-career professionals, including CPAs, MBA graduates, or those from academia desiring legal credentials and a new start; 2) foreign-trained lawyers with strong English-language proficiency;
3) individuals with established career plans following law school; or, 4) adults who seek to re-enter the workforce.
