2 Were there to be a change in the number of years required for a legal education, such a change would more likely involve a reduction than an increase. Cf. Richard A. Posner, “The Deprofessionalization of Legal Teaching and Scholarship,” Michigan Law Review 91 (1993): 1921, 1928 (suggesting that students should not be required to attend three years of law school in order to become members of the legal profession).

Smith, “Dutch Treats: The Lessons the U.S. Can Learn from How the Netherlands Protects Lesbians and Gays,” American University Journal of Gender and Law 4 (1996): 303, 315 (discussing Bowers and then commenting: “Relying on such antiquated rhetoric to decide homosexuals’ constitutional rights is as absurd as relying on the moral teachings of the Spanish Inquisition to determine the constitutional rights of Jews.”).
