Congratulations – You’ve Earned your Juris Doctor (JD)
The JD degree is a traditional law school program that is designed to prepare students for entry into the legal field, particularly the practice of law in the State of California and within the Federal Court System. This program allows students to receive comprehensive instruction beginning with Contracts, Tort, and Criminal Law, and upon successful completion of the First Year Law Students’ Exam (FYLSX), continues through intermediate and upper- level legal topics. The main objective of the School of Law program is to provide students with a strong background in the legal profession in becoming a successful attorney.
