Miami Law's Juris Doctor program is an intensive three-year, full-time course of study comprising 88 credits that blends challenging academics with practical legal skill development.
First-year students benefit from a distinctive orientation program designed to build technical legal proficiency before delving into theoretical and substantive aspects. This foundational approach prepares learners to examine legal systems through political, business, and societal lenses.
Taxation influences all aspects of modern life, from business formation to international commerce to personal relationships. In today's globalized environment, understanding only domestic tax codes is insufficient. Miami Law addresses this need through core offerings like Federal Income Tax alongside specialized courses such as Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax and Taxation of Sports/Entertainment Professionals. Miami's position as a hub for international tax strategy and wealth management creates exceptional internship and career prospects. The program attracts distinguished faculty from local, national, and global legal circles who incorporate current professional insights into their teaching.
