The Law School offers a part-time program that enables students to complete their J.D. requirements in four to six years. The first-year evening curriculum is mandatory and consists of two semesters of Civil Procedure, Contracts, and Legal Research and Writing and Research. In the second year of the evening program, students take Property, Torts, Criminal Law and Constitutional Law I and may choose additional electives.
Class size is generally smaller in evening courses than in day courses.
Return to the top. The combined day and evening program is designed to meet the needs of students who wish to complete law school in three years, but who prefer to take as many classes as possible in the evening.

In the combined day and evening program, first-year students must take Civil Procedure, Contracts, and Legal Research and Writing in the evening and Property or Torts during the day. Criminal Law must be taken in the evening of the second semester of the second year.
