Southwestern is the only American Bar Association-approved law school offering four programs of study leading to a J.D. degree that differ in scheduling and instructional approach. In addition to traditional full-time day and part-time evening programs, Southwestern has developed two innovative options: PLEAS, one of the only part-time day programs in the country designed to meet the needs of students with child or elder-care responsibilities, and SCALE®, a unique two-year J.D. course of instruction with an alternative approach. Please see the links at right or below for the most up-to-date information regarding our J.D. programs.
