J. D. Program Overview

The J. D. program encompasses 90 semester hours and is divided into full-time and part-time sections. The full-time program starts in August and is a three-year course of study designed for students able to devote virtually all of their time to the study of law. The part-time program begins in August and is a four year evening program for working students. There are no spring admissions.

Entering classes are divided into three full-time day sections of about 70 students and one part-time evening section of about 55 students. In the second and subsequent years, classes seldom exceed 90 students, and more than half of all Law Center classes have fewer than 30 students.
