Full-time JD Law Degree Program

Widener Law Commonwealth’s three-year program is designed for students who can attend classes full-time and during the day. Classes are scheduled five days a week through the first year in order to maximize students’ time on campus. This allows for more participation in our campus community.

As a full-time student, you are prohibited from working more than 20 hours per week throughout the length of the program. First-year courses provide the building blocks for all other coursework and professional experiences, so focus is essential to future success.

Typical Fall Class Schedule for a First-Year Full-time Student

• Civil Procedure I (3 credits)
• Contracts I (2 credits)
• Property I (4 credits)
• Torts I (2 credits)
• Legal Methods I (3 credits)
• Essential Legal Skills (1 credit)

This is only a typical class schedule, as the times that classes meet each day do vary slightly from year to year.

Widener Law Commonwealth reserves the right to modify curriculum requirements and course offerings.
