Andrew Said:

Does the military help pay tuition for law school?

We Answered:

The answer is yes and no (and mostly no).

There are three routes to becoming a JAG officer and only one of them usually pays for law school:

1. Direct Commission (nope)

2. Delayed Entry ROTC (maybe but it would be an exception)

3. Funded Legal Education Program ("FLEP") (yes)

I was a direct commission JAG officer. The Army did not (and does not) reimburse my education expenses. However, because I did not receive any previous funding from the Army (either the GI Bill or ROTC), I did receive the GI Bill, which I can now use for any future education like another masters or PhD. (but I cannot use to pay off my student loans for law school). The commitment for a direct commission officer I believe is now 4 years active duty for all branches (it used to be three for the Army) or six years in the reserves.

The ROTC program has two elements... the most well known is the scholarship side from which ROTC students get their tuition money. In return for taking the scholarship money, you will be required to take military science courses... what most people don't realize is these courses are open to students who are not actually in the ROTC scholarship program.... this is especially common in during the freshmen and sophomore years of college, where many of the students are not yet committed to joining the military upon graduation. If enrolled in the ROTC program, a student can apply to defer their obligation to the military in order to attend law school but there are no guarantees that you will get a deferment. Even if you get the deferment the military will NOT pay for law school and you will NOT be eligible for the GI Bill (the military usually only pays tuition once). It may also be possible to attend ROTC classes while in graduate school... although this is not the norm and I don't know about what sort of financial aid they would provide.... but it is possible to enroll in the military science classes if both your law school and the ROTC program agree (I can tell you that Yale law will let you drive to UCONN for the classes as Yale does not have its own ROTC program). The people in my basic training that went through ROTC delayed entry had a four year commitment to active duty and I believe a six year commitment for those that entered the reserves.

The FLEP program does pay for law school, but there are no guarantees that you will get in. The FLEP program works like this... you go through ROTC and become a commissioned officer in a non-JAG specialty. So in the Army, for example, you might be infantry or an engineer or a quartermaster. After you serve a few years as an officer you can apply for the FLEP program. This is a very selective program (in the Army only about 6% of applicants enter the program.) If selected to be a FLEP, you will be allowed to attend law school and the military will pay for it (more on that in a minute).... you will also continue to serve in the military, which means you will keep your date of rank and your pay while attending classes (you will also be subject to the UCMJ just like any active duty officer and will be required to spend your summers working with the military). The FLEP program normally only covers costs for a state school (any state school), however, one of the members of my officer basic course did go to Harvard as a FLEP... but that was because Harvard agreed to lower the tuition for her to the level of the most expensive state school in Massachusetts and the military agreed to cover that for her. FLEPs have a six year commitment to active duty upon graduation, and if they don't pass the bar they are required to serve that commitment in their former MOS (specialty). The nice thing about the FLEP program is that once you complete your commitment you are probably an O-4 (Major in the Army or Marines) and are half way to retirement. There are draw-backs to the FLEP program (like too much responsibility thrust onto these new attorneys because they may outrank senior attorneys that were in the reserves or were direct commissions).

If you are interested in going to Yale or Harvard, I suggest you start working on it now. I also recommend an article I wrote right after graduation about getting into Yale. Good luck, the JAG Corps can always use smart people looking to serve.

i need a retail part time/weekend jobs for a 15/16 year old in Maidstone kent?

We Answered:

I don't really know any particular jobs, but I'm looking for the same thing, and I think "totaljobs.com" is quite a good website in general. You have to enter your area and can search for the kind of job (probably in your case "retail and wholesale"). However, also being 16, I find it hard to distinguish jobs that would welcome a young person, but you can guess, and can often contact them anyway.

Leona Said:

Jobs for 14 year olds in England?

We Answered:

Though you can legally do 'light work' eg. paper rounds, shelf stacking etc once you are over the age of 14 in the UK, very few places will actually hire you due to insurance reasons, plus with so many people wanting jobs, they're more likely to pick a 16 year old than you. Your best bet is a paper round, babysitting, tutoring/teaching kids, or just doing extra bits of housework.
