Like many law schools, Cincinnati adopted the 13-week semester soon after the ABA changed Standard 304(a) ("A law school shall have an academic year of not fewer than 130 days on which classes are regularly scheduled in the law school, extending into not fewer than eight calendar months.").  There was widespread support among students and faculty here for the change, which resulted in lengthening the summer by two weeks — students could work two weeks longer (and earn more money) at their summer associate jobs, and faculty could have more uninterrupted time to work on their scholarship.  With more and more firms capping their summer associate programs at 8-10 weeks, and many faculty struggling to teach the same amount of material in fewer but longer classes, should the move to 13-week semesters be reconsidered?
