Juris Doctor Degree Program
Flexible & Accessible Online JD Program
The Juris Doctor degree at the JFK School of Law at National University has been continually accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners for the State Bar of California since 1981. Our program emphasizes the practical application of theory, preparing students to successfully sit for the CA Bar Examination and enter the legal profession as highly skilled, ethical, and passionate legal experts.
We provide students with the academic support needed to succeed, including faculty mentorship, tutoring, bar coaching from the beginning of the program through preparation for the CA Bar Examination, and access to an extensive law library. All coursework is online, blending both synchronous and asynchronous sessions, while hands-on training is offered through internship and clinical programs, travel abroad opportunities, and MOOT Court and trial advocacy courses.
