ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — The University of Georgia School of Law plans to launch a program that will allow about 15 students to live and work in Washington, D.C. for a semester while earning course credit.

The Washington D.C. Semester in Practice program is set to begin in the spring and will give students full-time clinical experience. Participants will live in UGA housing in the nation's capital while working 35 hours a week at federal-level governmental agencies and with major national organizations, among other placements.

Students will also complete a course taught by a professor from a Washington law school and a clinic seminar class, earning a total of 13 credits for the semester.

Oh, Goody! Future sharks, learning from the nation’s most corrupt and duplicitous citizens. Who turned that light bulb on? Oh, wait law professors.

I swear, between lawyers, politicians and unions, this country does not stand a chance.
