Programs Offered
At Faulkner Law, we offer three J.D. schedules designed to fit your life, but the best way to decide is to experience our campus firsthand.
Juris Doctor (J.D.)
Faulkner Law prepares students to practice law with purpose, but we know that our students’ paths to practice may differ. That is why we offer two main degree programs to better accommodate the unique educational goals of our students.
LL.M. (MASTER OF LAWS) IN DISPUTE RESOLUTION Individuals eligible for matriculation include the following:
Individuals who have earned a J.D. from an ABA accredited law school or who have earned the first degree of law required for law practice or law teaching (for those who earned the first last degree outside of the United States); or
Students currently enrolled in Faulkner Law’s J.D. program. Under section 5-202, up to 12 credits earned in J.D. studies may be credited to the LL.M.
Faulkner Law offers two scheduling options:
Full-time J.D. Schedule
A full load of on-campus, weekday classes over three years. Reduced course load options are available.
Executive J.D. Schedule
Reduced load of blended classes over four years. Blended classes will meet on campus every other weekend on Friday evenings and Saturdays and will have an asynchronous distance education component during the week.
Joint J.D./LL.M. in Dispute Resolution
Joint J.D./LL.M. in Dispute Resolution – This joint degree program is designed to permit students to complete both the J.D. and LL.M. degrees in the same three years it normally takes to earn the J.D. Faulkner Law students can apply up to 12 credit hours towards both degrees (a total of 100 credit hours is required to graduate). If you already have your J.D. you can earn the 24-credit hour LL.M. degree full-time, or part-time over a maximum of five years.

ADMISSIONS PHILOSOPHY
Faulkner Law prepares students to practice law with purpose. We’re looking for students who see a law degree as a way to make a positive difference in their community. Your LSAT score and undergraduate GPA matter, but so do your character, leadership skills, and demonstrated public service.
Our graduates are successful judges, prosecutors, government attorneys, and public interest lawyers. Other alumni are working in private law firms, corporate legal departments, and academia, but they still make time to help pro bono clients and non-profit organizations. Faulkner Law graduates are dedicated lawyer-servants and we are seeking students who share that mission.
Faulkner Law ranks among the most affordable private law schools in the country. The law school offers generous, merit-based scholarships for deserving students with strong academic credentials. And unlike most schools, Faulkner Law offers additional scholarships for outstanding academic performance during law school.
From our upper-level pathways to practice to our nationally-ranked advocacy program to our award-winning clinics and field placements, Faulkner Law gives you the opportunity to put your knowledge, skills, and values to practice while serving your community.
