This Wayne Law program is a great option for those with a passion for the law but who are unable to participate in the full-time, traditional J.D. program due to part- or full-time work or other obligations.

We offer evening courses Monday through Thursday, usually beginning at 6:10 p.m., on our downtown Detroit campus. You can complete the requirements for a degree in four to six years. You will complete your required first-year curriculum in two years. Course sequencing will be determined based upon the course availability each semester.

Students in our part-time program enjoy the same benefits as our full-time students including courses led by top legal scholars; access to bar prep, career services, the law library, and other resources; clinics, pro bono, and other practical experiences; and much more.
