Juris Doctor - Business Law in Durham United States | University of New Hampshire

Our juris doctor program emphasizes practical learning, with courses led by distinguished faculty members—most of whom bring significant professional experience—alongside hands-on legal clinics and an expansive externship initiative that delivers authentic, real-world training. Eligible students may participate in the innovative Daniel Webster Scholar program, the nation's sole competency-based alternative to traditional bar exams. Participants develop their expertise through simulated and actual legal scenarios (including client consultations, attorney collaborations, deposition-taking, court appearances, and mediation), while compiling comprehensive portfolios for semesterly bar examiner reviews. Graduates of the DWS program gain admission to the New Hampshire Bar just prior to commencement, enabling them to begin practicing law immediately after graduation.
