Here - most of these don't run every week, check the dates

Thanks for that, I was getting confused because it would say there are 30 contact hours and I thought that they were all classes instead of both classes and outside study time. :P

So what do you guys think I should do? I'm due to graduate from my BA mid 2015, is there any point in trying to transfer into undergraduate law (namely, Arts/Law), or should I just finish it out and apply for Aug intake of the Juris Doctor?

I mean if you can transfer all your credit from BA and get into arts/law I can't see why not. Remember the JD isn't guaranteed entry anyway, and much less so for a CSP place.

yeah that's what I'm thinking, i don't want to graduate and for some reason don't get into the juris doctor. i mean, either way id be graduating around the same time for both if i start arts/law next year (highly doubt mid year this year because they rarely ever do it). i guess i could use the jd as like an option 2. what are the chances of getting into it anyway? like is it super cooper competitive or are the chances really really good if you have a Distinction average from your undergrad?
