This program is designed for those students who are employed or otherwise occupied for most of their time, and who are able to devote only a portion of their time to the study of law. The completion of this program requires four academic years and one or two summer sessions of residence. Part-time students are admitted for evening courses.

They may be allowed to enroll in day classes if space is available. All part-time students are required to take the prescribed program of required courses listed below and four core electives as described below (see Academic Regulations, Section I.B. and C., Requirements for Graduation).
