Current Law Students / Re: SOUTHWESTERN IS UNETHICAL AND MISREPRESENTS THEIR PROGRAMS!!!

Southwestern doesn't sound much different from any other part time program...
There are several schools which will offer part time spots to full time applicants who otherwise wouldn't be accepted. These are students who often have slightly lower numbers and will benefit from having a lighter course load.
I understand that the OP is upset that they have less time to study due to thier full time "responsible" job, but most law students had full time jobs before starting. We quit them to go to school. While lots of people do have to work to support families, maybe scaling back to a "trivial" job in order to improve your academic performance IS the "responsible" thing to do.
Law school in an investment. Almost everyone has to sacrifice something to be here. It isn't supposed to be easy, and complaining that you have it harder than your neighboor doesn't really help you to do any better.
