6 units of Experiential Credits in designated courses
Six Semesters of Full-Time Residency
At least 86 Credit Hours (67 in LCUs) *

*The ABA requires that 67 credits be earned in “regularly scheduled class sessions at the law school”, or LCUs (Law Classroom Units). Students who graduate with exactly the required 86 credits must not take more than 19 outside-the-classroom (non-LCU) credits.
**Based on all courses taken, whether or not credit is earned.
First-Year Courses
First-year students take three doctrinal courses a semester, plus Legal Practice and Legal Research Methodologies. Each semester, first-year students will have one doctrinal course in a small section of approximately 45 students. Legal Practice and Legal Research Methodologies are also taught in small groups and in workshop-style classes by teachers who provide individualized feedback on each student’s research and writing projects. The Negotiation class runs over Intersession (the week before the Spring Semester starts). It may also be offered as a weekend course immediately before Fall classes begin.
Civil Procedure (4 credits)
Constitutional Law I (4 credits)
Contracts (4 credits)
Criminal Law (4 credits)
Property (4 credits)
Torts (4 credits)
Legal Practice I: Objective Analysis and Reasoning (2 credits)
Legal Practice II: Advocacy (2 credits)
Legal Research Methodologies (1 credit for year; posted to spring semester)
Negotiation (1 credit)
Upper-Level Courses
Upper-level students fulfill the remaining 56 credit hours by tailoring their studies to fit their individual interests. Students may take a variety of courses to meet the upper-class writing requirement, ethics requirement, and applied lawyering / professional skills experiential units requirements. Faculty members and administrators provide guidance about course selection.
NOTE: Effective with the JD class entering Fall 2016 who will graduate in Spring 2019, there is a 6-unit maximum on the number of 1 unit IWCs (Intensive Weekend Courses) and 1 unit Intersession courses any JD may count toward their total Law units. The 1 unit Negotiation course is a first-year course requirement and is not included in this 6 unit limit.
For a list of current course offerings that fulfill various requirements, consult the University Course Listings. To search for Applied Lawyering/Professional Skills Courses (ALPS), experiential credit, seminar courses or ethics courses, please change “School” to Law and select the appropriate “Attributes” (you must scroll down to see the Law School courses).
REMINDER: In addition to diploma requirements, there are character, fitness and other qualifications for admission to the bar. Applicants are encouraged, prior to matriculation, to determine what those requirements are in the state(s) where they intend to practice.
