The Daniel Webster Scholar (DWS) Honors Program, a first-of-its-kind program in the country allowing students to graduate client-ready without the need to take the traditional two-day bar exam, will graduate its 10th class this spring. In that relatively short amount of time, the program has earned numerous national accolades and has been the subject of a study that concluded third-year DWS students were outperforming lawyers licensed to practice law for up to two years.

The program can also count among its successes a healthy听pipeline to JAG programs throughout the branches of the military. DWS has had students accepted into JAG programs in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force, all within the first nine years of producing graduates.听The story is featured in the Winter 2017 Issue of 易胜博官网 Magazine.

The military does a lot of simulation, and that鈥檚 what the Daniel Webster Scholar program does 鈥� it gives people simulated experience and real experience. It鈥檚 all about being client-ready. When graduates enter the JAG corps, that鈥檚 exactly what they expect.鈥�
