PHILADELPHIA – Perhaps Rodger Gordon has a valid point. This 43-year-old law student at Georgetown University Law Center recently grabbed national attention by taking a leave of absence from school to appeal his recent court loss to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Gordon is arguing that he should be permitted to sit for the California Bar Exam after just two years of law school.

Moreover, he points out the inconsistencies between requirements for part-time and full-time students.
