New York University Law School is the most recent school to bring a change into third year law school curriculum, citing the age-old mantra that in law school, “the first year they scare you to death, the second year they work you to death, and the third year they bore you to death.” By changing the curriculum, N.Y.U. is hoping to change the third year so that students gain experience in a specialty, through both instruction specific to that specialty and through internships around the country and the world.
