The legal profession is evolving—and so is the way we prepare our students. At ÃÛÌÒAPP School of Law, our innovative Juris Doctor (JD) curriculum is offered both on campus and online to equip future lawyers with the knowledge, skills and adaptability to thrive in today’s dynamic legal landscape.
Our emphasis on experiential education throughout all three years ensures you graduate practice-ready—prepared to think critically, act ethically and lead confidently in any setting. All program options start exclusively in the fall semester.
Join our vibrant community and take your place in shaping the future of law.
Our traditional on-campus JD program is designed to equip you with hands-on legal experience starting in your first semester. Whether you want to customize your studies with a concentration, study abroad, or earn another degree concurrently, we have you covered.
You don’t need to relocate or leave your job to pursue your JD. Our fully online JD program offers access to the same world-class faculty, core curriculum and experiential education opportunities—with no in-person residency requirements.
Experiential Education
No matter which degree format you pursue, you’ll benefit from our top-ranked experiential education program. This program blends classroom learning with real-world experience starting your very first year, ensuring you gain hands-on training that sets you apart.
A Customized Approach
For those looking for an even more customized JD experience, we offer a variety of JD specialty areas, dual-degree tracks, study abroad programs, and even concurrent degree tracks. Whatever your career goals, ÃÛÌÒAPP School of Law will prepare you to meet them.
Bar Exam Preparation
Comprehensive preparation for the bar exam is a key component of our JD program as well as our international LLM program. From robust resources and advising to financial options, we offer the support you need to successfully earn professional licensure.
The JD program provides so many opportunities for practical experience. I’ve gained real-life experiences that wouldn’t have been available to me if I’d chosen a different law school. At CWRU, I’ve been able to understand that I want to be an advocate for people who don’t necessarily have the ability to be one for themselves—and I have the tools and opportunities I need to do so.â€
