"As far as graduate programs go, the law degree isn't really that long." I did not interpret this to mean doctorates. When you said graduate programs, I took you mean, all post-undergraduate programs. Since there are many master's programs out there of the one to two year length (especially professional degrees that can confer "expertise") I took a three year law degree to be fairly long. I have no doubt that you have a lot of knowledge about this, and obviously the number of years you state for the length of degree programs is accurate (although I guess, even more on your side would be the argument that although an MD is four years, medical education is much longer), I just had a misunderstanding of the sample space we were talking about. Obviously you're correct that three years is not that long when compared to six. I did mean for some of my reply to be in response to your post, obviously, but by no means was everything I said a reply to your post, but rather the thread at large.
