Pace Law School announced the launch of a new program for candidates seeking to start law school in January rather than September.

The application deadline for January 2010 is November 16, 2009. Admissions decisions are expected to be made before December 23, 2009.

This inaugural class will start in January 2010, completing the first core semester of law school during the spring and the second semester during a new 13-week summer session. These students will then join their second-year law student classmates in fall 2010 and graduate in two and one-half years rather than the traditional three-year path.
