Students enrolled in the part-time program are required to attend summer sessions in order to complete the prescribed program for the Juris Doctor Degree within four years. In addition, the summer program affords an opportunity for full-time students to lighten the workload normally carried during the regular school year or to broaden their legal background by taking additional electives in areas of interest. Full-time students are encouraged to seek counseling before attending summer classes to determine the impact on their program. Students are expected to follow their course projection. Deviations are allowed only upon approval of a petition to the Academic Council.
