Part Time Law Colleges

Part-time Juris Doctor law college programs play a significant role in legal education. Attending a part-time law program is the only way some working adults can afford to attend school and maintain a solid work-life balance. Part-time law programs usually take four years--instead of three--to complete since many classes are offered in the evening or on the weekend. Top part-time law schools are measured using the following criteria: selectivity, part-time focus, overall rank, and quality.
  1. Georgetown University

    • The Georgetown University Law Center was originally founded in 1870 as an evening program. Many men and women attend Georgetown's part-time program while employed full time in firms, trade associations, and federal organizations. The program lasts for eight semesters in addition to one summer session. A student may complete all requirements in less than four years with careful planning. Candidates may enroll in one of two first-year curricula: a traditional curriculum "A," or an innovative and interdisciplinary curriculum "B."

    George Washington University

    • JD degree applicants may apply to attend the full-time or part-time program. Both programs have the same academic qualifications, core courses, and full-time faculty. Students primarily enrolled in the part-time division may transfer into the full-time program to complete the degree at a faster rate. Students may cross-register with other George Washington colleges, earning degrees ranging from women's studies to international development. The customizable curriculum is further highlighted with experiential learning opportunities in clinics and academic research.
