Only a big difference to those in Tier 1 schools...

I saw that ranking in an old news story discussing the "new" 2-year program and took it verbatium. I didn't check it's accuracy. Quite honestly, I don't really care. Sorry if my oversight offended.

I suggest you try google.

actually there are two NU programs, the two-year JD is for foreign lawyers, and Accelerated JD is the 5-semester "2 year" program.

Hey, sorry for trying to help, asshole. As a Northwestern MBA alumnus with lots of friends who went through the JD/MBA program, far be it from me to know what I'm talking about, I suppose. If there is a 2-year JD program at Northwestern law school -- which there very well may be -- I hadn't heard of it when this topic came up. No need to lash out at me.

I suggest you try learning some fundamental social skills.

This from a person with a moniker "Arrogant Bastard." And yet you (and others) still sound skeptical when you state, "If there is a 2-year JD...which there very well may be...I hadn't heard of it..."

I wasn't lashing out, I was simply saying that you don't have to take my word for it. I don't see how you found "lashing out" in a 2-line post. Oh well.

I wasn't being skeptical of the existence of a 2-year program, nor am I now, obviously. I just hadn't heard of one at the time the subject came up, so I wondered out loud whether the poster was talking about the JD/MBA program. You then responded to my post with "I suggest you try Google" -- a line which, for the record, comes off pretty rude. Hence, the "lashing out" observation.

If your intent wasn't to be a jackass with that line, then I'm sorry for reading it that way. But hopefully you see how easy it is to interpret that line in a "lol, learn2google" sort of way. At any rate, this whole thing is probably high on some list of things not worth fighting about over the internet, so I'll leave it at that and chalk it up to a misreading.

That's fair. I speak pretty plainly, and need to be more aware that doesn't come across well sometimes in print.

Perhaps I should have said, "You should google it, it was widely discussed when NW introduced the program and there's lots of information about it if you're interested."

From Northwestern's web site, describing the qualifications for an applicant in the accelerated JD program: "Applicants must have at least two years of substantive post-undergraduate work experience, preferably in a non-legal setting." I understand wanting post-undergraduate work experience, but why do they prefer a non-legal setting? Seems odd.
