<p>Law school may be different than med school, as far as WP goes, but I was under the impression that a precious few are allowed to go straight to graduate study, then make up their obligation (WP+graduate school time) afterwards. What I’m seriously looking at, though, is an option in which you can serve your 5 years, go to grad school on the military’s dime, then serve the time that you gained from graduate study. If your family can handle the fees, though, it all depends on your career plans. If your going into the military after law school (as you seem to suggest), maybe you can spare your parents the cash and look at the “5 years then Law School” opportunity.</p>
