There is nothing wrong with aiming for a better life but that was not his/her point (or the Gov's).

So what if the JD is expensive? The JD graduates presumably signed on because they did the whole "I am passionate about helping the underprivileged etc" song and dance when applying for the programme. Which was the point of the programme to begin with.

Doing SIAC arbitrations at $400/hr chargeout rate is not "passionate about helping the underprivileged". That is disingenuously backdooring your way into "a better life".

I am all for a UK style GDL so that the profession is not closed to mid-career switchers. But the SUSS JD is not that, it was never intended to be that, and as a result of which so many persons still go unrepresented at the 4th floor of the State Courts.
