Juris Doctor Degree

The Hofstra University School of Law offers a three-year, full-time day, and a four-year, part-time day program of professional education leading to the degree of Juris Doctor. The full-time and part-time program of the School are equally challenging. The large majority of courses in both programs are taught by the full-time faculty, while a number are taught by adjunct professors who are specialists in their fields of practice. Required and elective courses are individually described in the course catalog.
