V-1 Program Opened To Pre-Legal Students

Students who can finish their pre-legal work and also their studies for a law degree in an accredited institution within four years can now come under the V-1 program of the Navy, A. James Casner, head of the War Service Committee announced yesterday.

At present the highest rate of acceleration for a student in Harvard is two years and three months, and a similar period of time is required in the law school. At the Harvard Law School, which as present requires a college degree for admission a minimum of four years and six months would therefore be taken up. It is nevertheless conceivable, Casner said, that a law school which required no LL.B. could give a degree in four years.
