Get a head start on your legal education with our 3-Year Summer Start JD. Take two first-year courses in the summer before the full-time academic year begins, giving you time to ease into law school, build confidence, and form meaningful connections with classmates and faculty.

Why Choose the Summer Start JD?

• Get Ahead and Build Confidence: Start your studies early, develop a strong foundation, and gain confidence as you transition into law school.
• Manageable Course Load: Spread out your first-year courses and study at your own pace, making it easier to adjust to the rigor of law school.
• Stronger Connections: Join a tight-knit group of peers, form study groups that turn into lasting friendships, and get to know faculty and staff who are always available to support you.
• More Time for Experiential Learning: By getting ahead in your coursework, you create opportunities later in your academic career for pro bono work, clinics, and other hands-on experiences.
• Supportive Community: Faculty and staff are always accessible—just an email or office hour away—to guide you through your legal education.

The Summer Start JD is an excellent opportunity to get ahead, form strong connections, and build a solid foundation for law school. You won’t miss out on any experiences, rather, you’re setting yourself up for success and a smoother transition into your first year.
