"Given the time required to ensure adequate class preparation and a thorough understanding of the course material, first year students are not permitted to work. In accordance with American Bar Association and Howard University School of Law rules and requirements, second and third year students may not work more than twenty hours a week. "

If Howard doesn't allow 1st year law students to work, how do you pay your bills and maintain a living, especially with gas prices increasing?

Cost of living is more expensive in DC. I'm thinking about tuition, books, medical and car insurance, car payments, gas, clothing, food, rent and utilities, etc. etc... I'm a working undergrad. I know if I go to law school, I'll have to work. I was planning to work a full time job with benifits through law school, but it's against the rules.
