Welcome back to Ahead of the Curve. I’m Karen Sloan, legal education editor at Law.com, and I’ll be your host for this weekly look at innovation and notable developments in legal education.

This week, I’m checking in on the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law’s five-year-old B.A. in law program, which is the first in the country but will get some new competition next year from the State University of New York at Buffalo Law School. Next up is a look at an article from federal appellate judge Gregg Costa that argues against the recent trend of lawyers doing two or more clerkships.
