Part-time Law Students

Part-time law students usually have a more challenging path during law school than full-time students because they are often juggling jobs and families while attending law schools. Hats off to each of you!

Time management and efficiency are critical if you are a part-time student. Enrolling in The Basic Exam Course will give you an advantage because the approaches taught in the course will enable you to plan your time and study methods to maximize efficiency. Our part-time students appreciate being given a realistic assessment of what is needed to excel in school. Best of all, part-time students can attend classes while at home or at the office.

The Basic Exam Course

In the online Basic Exam Course, law students learn time management, how to read and brief cases, how to outline courses, how to write essays and respond to multiple-choice exams, how to gauge progress, and how to run effective study groups. The Basic Exam Course is available 24/7 via video streaming.

The Basic Exam Course includes three classes, "How to Excel in Law School," "How to Outline Law School Courses," and "Exam Writing, Legal Analysis and the Exam Templates^TM." It takes approximately eight hours to view the course.

The Advanced Exam-writing Teleconference Course

Once you have taken The Basic Exam Course, you can take The Advanced Exam-writing Course. The course meets via teleconference three times for two hours per class. Plus, each student meets with a faculty member for two hours of private instruction. All meetings are held via teleconference.

During classes, actual student papers are critiqued line-by-line, using the information taught in The Basic Exam Course. Students may submit ten essays for written feedback from faculty.

Private Tutoring

Private tutoring is available to students who have taken The Basic Exam Course. Law students must purchase either a five or ten-hour block of faculty time for private tutoring. Private instruction is offered via teleconference.
