Monday Morning Message 2.12.24 A Law Degree That Fits Your Life and Jumpstarts Your Future.

“I imagine getting this program up and running has been a monumental lift, so I wanted to make sure you heard from me saying thank you. It would be difficult for me to be going to law school in person, given my circumstances and where I live, so this opportunity has been and is very important to me…..I want to thank all the folks who have worked tirelessly to pull this program together so that people like me can have an opportunity to study the law. – Student, CSU|LAW J.D. online part-time program

"I used to label myself as a “non-traditional” student, but that changed with the JDO program – where almost all of us fit that description….Fortunately, the JDO program and its flexibility came along at just the right time. And while every day has its challenges, my passion for it remains constant – maybe not every single moment, but definitely every single day.”  - Student, CSU|LAW J.D. online part-time program

“CSU|Law’s JD online program allows me to balance a career, my family, my hobbies, and my goals. Not only can I balance law school, but I also have supportive faculty every step of the way and classmates who make the experience engaging every day.”  - Student, CSU|LAW J.D. online part-time program

Many law schools do not have a part-time program. We have both a full-time and part-time JD program, and for the first time in our law school history, we have a J.D. online part-time program that puts us at the forefront of the rapidly changing legal education landscape. Our CSU|LAW JD Online Part-Time Program (JDO) is one of the first accredited online J.D. programs in the country.

56% of our JDO students are from out of state (16 different states). 76% are women; 93% took at least one year off between college and law school; the average age is 33; and most have one or more advanced graduate degrees.

Applications for the JDO program are up 262% over last year at this time. 84% of the applicants are from out-of-state. See A Look at the New JD Online Program

If you’re looking for an online part-time JD program that’s rigorous, high quality, affordable, flexible, and accessible without having to relocate, leave your family, or cease employment, start here!

Ours is a law degree that fits your life and jumpstarts your future.

Have a great day. Have a great week.
