"When deciding where to apply to law school, I had to make the difficult decision of whether or not I was willing to give up my full-time job. I started looking into part-time programs that would allow me the ability to both works and pursue a legal education. The FlexJD schedule allows for this flexibility in determining one’s schedule. I like to do my assigned reading and lecture videos on the weekend and have found this to work best with my schedule."
- Rachel V. ’25, current FlexJD student
