To explain about my law school and Unviersity of Houston, they are "sister" schools. Menaing they work with each other becuase their schools are geared towards the working person. I am a full-time evening student. Meanign I have takign 12 semester hours per semester. And, you are correct about ABA and their 80% attendance requirment and I have technically attended 80% of my classes. Does that make since. I am allowed to attend Univeristy of Houston becuase of an agreement my school has with them.

Are you doing the ENTIRE semester there or just part of it? Is there a link on one of the school's websites that explains this? As a 3rd year (ugh, meeting about the bar in 45 minutes), I just don't understand how this would work and would love to see how the school explains it. Thanks

No, that doesn't make sense. My grandfather is a DePaul alumnus and they are recruiting me for law school and I've never heard about this. There's nothing about it on their website. In addition, I find it very odd that a Vincentian university would ally itself with a non-Catholic school, let alone a public one.

I looked at the U of Houston Law Center (not "College of Law")website... they don't have a full time evening program, only part time evening with 6-10 credits.

It also makes no sense that two schools so far away would have any kind of partnership. I really doubt they would have ANY students in your same situation. Law school just doesn't work that way.

I apologize to whoever reading this if it seems like GP and I are being b!tches about all of this, but this particular poster has been caught in MANY lies (some of you may not remember, she deleted a lot of posts, etc. but a lot are still there). And nothing adds up. I know how law schools work and the requirements, as i'm a 3rd year, and it just doesn't happen like this.

When I saw that this story is about the Law School at DePaul, I had to check it out. My Mom was JD'72 there and former faculty and we have many friends on the faculty still. I normally try very hard to bite my tongue on this board and not respond, but for once, I'm letting loose 100%:

There is NO WAY you could be a full-time evening student. DePaul only has part-time evening (I should know, my Mother used to teach Legal Writing there).
When I asked my Mom about the 'sister school' thing, her response: Not possible. No law school allows people to be enrolled in one school while taking classes at another UNLESS you're studying abroad. She has never heard of the 'sister' school with Houston and said that she was going to check with her friends who are tenured Professors to see if this is actually true. I let her read these posts and she was flabbergasted by this story.

I too am in law school right now (living through the hell that is 1L) and this story seems very weird to me.

While I'm ranting...another issue I have right now: GC has a function where you can edit your posts and view them before they get posted. PLEASE look at the way you're posting. Half of your sentences do not make sense, example:

COME ON! If you're really in Law School, I really hope that you're not turning in work like that to Professors. I know that we all have typos and make mistakes, but seriously.
Also, your 'location'--if you're from Chicago you should know that it's Illinois not Illinios.

/end rant because law school is frustrating enough without dealing with crap like this

I thought something was up, especially since I remember this poster saying she was a DG...

She never explicitly said she was a DG. She posted on the DG secret sister thread saying she wanted to participate, not understanding that it was only for DGs.

To answer your question...[This is being fixed due to the simply fact that I didnt read the question that was written by kddani 9/24/04] No I am not doing the entire year in Houston just till I get back to Chicago [come this January I shall be back in Chicago]....

I apologize to those who have read my posts and see the mis-spellings, I will go back and "edit" my posts, for those who are so critical of that.

The great thing about schools (especially, law schools) most schools have this policy that is called a "visiting student" application, so that students "like me" can go to school finish their degree while making a life for them.

Thank you 33girl, for clearing that up. Acutally you can be a full-time evenign student becuase I take my classes at night 12 semester hours in all, I start at 330 in the afternoon and I go to 10 pm most nights.

No, not especially law schools. Law schools don't do this. You can't do this.

You can't start class at one school, go and take the class (who says they even have them?) at another school then go back to the original school and take the final. Profs have entirely different cirriculums and styles and what you learn.

Again, show me proof of ANY school that does this?

Why are you bullsh!ting people who ARE in law school and who DO know about this sort of thing?

What do you mean? My law school had so many sister schools they formed a sorority and it was so neat! I'd drive my silver Grand Cherokee to different law schools all around the country, so I learned civil procedure from 12 different professors, and then I had them all become alumni initiates of my sorority even though some of them were men they made an exception because we're all united by our love of the law. OMGWTFBBQ.

I have several relatives who are alumni of DePaul. I'm unaware on this visiting school program.

If she was accepted by DePaul as a transfer student that's a possibility with the requirements posted here.

The only sister school programs I found were for study abroad programs in Ireland or China. As posted here.
