You can't practice in most states with just an LLM.

Basically, you do a combined Bachelors and JD in 6 years between South FLorida and Stetson. Stetson offers "partial funding." I have no idea why anyone would do this.

Or go to Stetson for that matter with really reasonable in state tuition from UF/FSU, but that is another discussion.



Btw, had no idea where this went so I just left it here.

Getting it down to almost nothing would not be the worst thing ever if you only want to work in the Tampa area (and our shitty economy), but as you said, unless for some personal reason you can't leave, get almost a full ride, and want to work in Tampa it would not be terrible, but I feel like that is not going to be most of the people in this program.

Also, for anyone in state in the USF Honors college, that year saved in tuition would have been free from Bright futures.

And I went to USF, because I was a lazy 17 year old and they paid me to go and I did not get into UF

This is potentially a good deal for someone locked into the area for whatever reason (family, etc). Most people who attend USF do so because they either didn't want to move away from home, or can't leave the area.

Stetson isn't a bad law school if the discount is large enough, you just need to have connections in t he tampa market, and the type of people who would do this 3+3 are either going to get a great deal (if they have local connections and are here because they are 'tied down') or make a terrible, life-wrecking decision (if they just didn't want to move away from home).
