JURIS DOCTOR (J.D.)

Our J.D. program thoroughly prepares graduates to sit for the California Bar Exam through a collaborative learning environment that emphasizes discussion and debate. Students develop the skills needed to effectively advocate for a diverse range of clients and serving the community by making law more accessible to the public.

Our innovative Hybrid J.D. program makes a law degree accessible for students who have difficulty attending campus classes.
