Part time student
Most people think or consider a part time law student as a non-traditional law student because those individuals graduate in 4 years instead of 3 years. If you go to ruthless law school where 20% of your class gets cut in the first year then that is not a bad strategy. The first year in law school is the hardest. As a part time student you are able to take less classes and are able to concentrate on school with less workload. Some people go into school anticipating taking a full load and switch to part time status. It all depends on your circumstance. Others do it because of their time commitment or have a family or work a full time job. Some are night students. Whatever your reason, do what you think is best for you. Law school is expenses and you need to make sure you are going to pass and graduate otherwise it is a complete waste of money.
