Introduction
Our innovative Juris Doctor (JD) program emphasizes skills-based training and prepares you for a successful and satisfying career in the legal profession.
You build the foundation for successful law practice through traditional first-year coursework with an emphasis on legal analysis, research, and writing, and begin meeting with career advisors to identify work opportunities in law school and beyond.
You will participate in the much-acclaimed STEPPS Program, where you will learn the knowledge and skills necessary for the ethical practice of law through a client-attorney simulation course. You can also take a wide variety of courses designed to prepare you for the bar exam and a career in law. Specialized courses and experiential learning opportunities are also available.
