Part-Time Evening J.D. Program
Our part-time evening program is designed for working professionals or those with other obligations which do not allow for the completion of courses in the day. Students attend in-person classes twice per week with additional classes taught online during the first three years. Each student’s elective course selection determines the number of in-person days per week in the fourth year.
