The JD program at the University of San Francisco offers comprehensive legal education, combining theoretical knowledge with practical training to prepare you for immediate success in the legal profession. Our foundational curriculum equips all JD candidates with essential competencies for bar exam success and a thriving legal practice. Daytime classes dominate the full-time schedule, with most students completing the program in three years. First-year students might need to attend one evening course each semester. Upperclassmen enjoy flexible scheduling options, choosing between daytime, evening, or summer sessions to meet degree requirements. Given the intensive nature of coursework, research, and extracurricular commitments, full-time students are limited to 20 hours of external employment weekly.
