Rafael Casallas is on a fast track to a career in law and today marks a big\u00a0step along\u00a0the track.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the first day of law school for the 19-year-old legal studies senior, who is attending Barry University Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law through a 3+3 Accelerated Law Program established by UCF and Barry Law.<\/p>\n

Casallas is the first student in the program, which will enable him to complete a bachelor\u2019s degree and a law degree in six years rather than the traditional seven, saving a year of time and tuition expenses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis program works perfectly for me,\u201d said Casallas, who earned an associate degree from Valencia College while completing his diploma at Lake Nona High School.<\/p>\n

In addition to reducing his time in college, the program is enabling Casallas to begin law school now because Barry offers a spring start date for new students. In fact, Barry is one of just a few accredited law programs to offer this option.<\/p>\n

Casallas also was attracted to Barry\u2019s close proximity to UCF and his family, who moved from Colombia to Central Florida when he was seven.<\/p>\n

Establishing an accelerated law program was a top goal for Professor James Beckman when he served as inaugural chair of the Department of Legal Studies from 2011 to 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that Barry Law is in Orlando made it a perfect partner for a 3+3 program,\u201d said Beckman. \u201cStudents who have obligations tying them to Orlando or who cannot afford to leave Orlando can achieve both degrees here and a year earlier than normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a legal studies major, Casallas already has been exposed to the topics he\u2019ll encounter in his first year of law school.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur curriculum includes legal research, legal writing, property, civil practice, criminal law, torts, constitutional law and contracts,\u201d said Rupert Neish,\u00a0professional advisor for the legal studies program. \u201cLaw school admission reps say our students tend to be well-prepared for their first year of law school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Casallas said he has\u00a0\u201cloved the legal studies major\u201d and would recommend it to anyone. \u201cThe professors really help you out,\u201d he said. \u201cEveryone wants to help you succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alisa Smith, chair of the Department of Legal Studies since July 2016, said the accelerated law program \u201cis a great opportunity for motivated students.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best candidates for the program are students who have thought about law\u00a0school for years,\u201d she said. \u201cThey\u2019ll have an advantage working with the legal studies program early in their college career and in successfully completing the intensive 3+3 experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

To be considered for the accelerated law program, UCF students must declare a legal studies major, apply to the accelerated program in their freshman or sophomore year, and attend college full time. Students in the accelerated program must meet the eligibility and admission requirements at Barry Law to gain admission.<\/p>\n

Casallas said he feels ready for law school thanks to his education at UCF and his use of daily exercise to relieve stress. \u201cIf you have a healthy body, you have a healthy mind,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Barry Law student Clyde Lemon approved. \u201cKeep that mentality. You\u2019re going to need it,\u201d he said. As a third-year student, Lemon knows the law school well. \u201cWe call ourselves the Barry Law Family,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re always willing to help each other out. We\u2019re all going through the same thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Casallas recently attended Admit Day for incoming students at Barry Law. \u201cIt was amazing. I met a lot of interesting students and everyone was so excited,\u201d he said. \u201cThat kind of energy is contagious.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very excited to have Rafael as our first student in the 3 + 3 program,\u201d said Barry Law Dean Leticia Diaz. \u201cWe\u2019re enthusiastically looking forward to this first admission paving the way for more UCF students in the legal studies program to follow suit and join us here at Barry Law.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diaz said she thinks the 3+3 program is an excellent way for students at UCF to seamlessly transition to Barry Law and get an early start on their path to a legal career. \u201cFortunately, we have amazing faculty and a dedicated staff to help guide students through the process,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Ten years from now, Casallas hopes to look back and celebrate his decision to attend law school. In the interim, he looks forward to earning his bachelor\u2019s and law degrees and to launching a successful career.<\/p>\n

In addition to the <\/em>3+3 Accelerated Law Program at Barry, two other accelerated law programs are available to UCF students. For information about UCF\u2019s program with Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center in New York (Long Island), contact <\/em>rupert.neish@ucf.edu<\/em><\/a>. For information about UCF\u2019s program with Florida State University of Law, open to all majors, contact the UCF Office of Pre-Health and Pre-Law Advising at <\/em>phpladvising@ucf.edu<\/em><\/a>. The first UCF student to enter the accelerated law program at FSU began last fall (see https:\/\/sciences.ucf.edu\/news\/rodney-ulysse\/<\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n
