If I wanted to do more in-depth work, I could get an LLM degree, which is an additional year. If for some reason I decide to go into academia (unlikely but certainly not impossible) that is definitely the route I'd take.

The only thing that counts, in the end, is the bar exam if I'm not mistaken, and if you take two or three years to get there is immaterial. And with three years, you'd have more time to digest the coursework, and have more time for "electives" to go into depth on the stuff that interests you. I would assume that would make for a better lawyer. So financial considerations aside, what would the downside be of doing that?
