Huh?

I just saw a banner from ITT Tech that said "now offering programs in business and criminal justice".

Since when was lawyering considered a technical discipline?

Technical == Vocational Ed. It's probably an associates degree program, straight-to-work training.

By technical they mean non-traditional academics.

I still don't see a lawyer with a degree from a school named "ITT Tech" going terribly far in the world of law. Public defender, perhaps... not much beyond.

maybe he wants to learn how to do computer crime. :P

Only if it pays... ;)

Criminal Justice isn't a law degree. ITT Tech can't grant those :)

You'd get that degree more likely if you wanted to be a cop or work in that sort of job (enforcement, not defense/prosecution).

It still strikes me as rather amusing.

One generally doesn't think of lawyers and technology going well together.
