New joint degree program in Minn. seeks to create lawyers with the Write Stuff.
Byline: Dan Heilman
If you can provide an answer to a legal language issue that's more esoteric than what's in Black's Law Dictionary -- and can spend 1,500 words eloquently explaining why -- you might be at home in a joint degree program Hamline University is developing.
The university's law school and Graduate School of Liberal Studies are teaming up to create the nation's first Juris Doctor/Master of Fine Arts joint degree. Set to debut in fall 2008, the program is an outgrowth both of successful previous attempts at joint programs at Hamline and the interdisciplinary nature of the school's M.F.A. program in creative writing.
Jon Garon, dean of the law school, said the idea for the joint degree program came up late last year as part of Hamline's regular strategic planning process.
"We tried to identify some university-wide opportunities, and the M.F.A. with Creative Writing and the J.D. seemed like signature programs. It became pretty obvious that there was a natural overlap between the two programs," said the dean, who is also the author of a business and legal guide for filmmakers.
