At Lincoln Memorial University's Duncan School of Law, we offer two distinct JD programs designed to meet the needs of aspiring legal professionals. Whether you’re seeking a traditional, full-time experience or the flexibility of a part-time/hybrid program, LMU Law provides the tools, resources, and support to help you succeed in your legal career.
The traditional, in-person JD program at LMU Law is designed for students who are ready to immerse themselves fully in legal education. This program offers a comprehensive, on-campus experience that combines rigorous academics with experiential learning opportunities.
Key Features:
Full-time, on-campus curriculum that prepares students for the bar exam and legal practice.
Small class sizes that foster close relationships with faculty and peers.
Experiential learning opportunities, including clinics, externships, and moot court.
Dedicated career services to support your professional goals.
This program is ideal for students who want to complete their legal education in three years and are able to commit to a full-time schedule.
For students who need greater flexibility, the LMU Law Four-Year Part-Time/Hybrid JD Program offers a unique blend of online learning and on-campus experiences. This program is designed for working professionals, parents, or anyone who requires a more adaptable approach to legal education.
Key Features:
Online, asynchronous coursework makes up two-thirds of the program, allowing you to learn on your own schedule.
On-campus intensives held 13 times over the first three years, where students come to our Knoxville, Tennessee campus for long weekends of in-person instruction and networking.
The same rigorous curriculum as the traditional program, with a focus on flexibility and accessibility.
This program is perfect for students who want to earn their JD while balancing other commitments, without sacrificing the quality of their legal education.
