Part-Time Division Programs

Go Back

Under ABA Standard 301 (a) “A law school shall ensure that all students have reasonably comparable opportunities to take advantage of the school’s educational program, co-curricular programs, and other educational benefits.”  Most law schools have interpreted this standard to mean that their part-time programs must provide education in the same or similar formats and under the same or similar conditions as they do for their full-time students who do not balance the same outside concerns as their part-time colleagues.  This program examines whether and how law schools can move beyond that premise to effectively reach a wider audience of potential students who would not be able to attend law school without significant changes to the current curricular models.
