My personal favorite was the "Juris Doctor, Georgetown, 2012 (Expected)".
If I saw this in a resume, and you were anything more than a term away from graduation (let alone 3 damn years), I'd laugh, and throw your resume out.
Especially since that timing means he's merely been
admitted. Law school in the US is a three year deal, so if he's "expected" in 2012 it means he matriculates in 2009. I'm pretty certain that Georgetown only matriculates new students once a year, and that hasn't happened yet for 2009. Should be in a few weeks.
It's technically improper for him to claim to have attended a school that he has merely only been admitted to. Given that most first-division law schools have first-year fail rates in the 30% to 60% range, I'd say it's highly optimistic of him to predict graduation quite so soon.
Caveat: Some schools have early summer programs, and there are a handful of four-year programs for specialty degrees. However, it's unlikely either of these applies to our dear friend here.
