You can set the best learning pace for your individual needs and track your progress better. You can also make adjustments or get extra help from your professors early on, helping you stay on track academically.

Building a Strong Legal Foundation

The goal of the EJD program is to (1) give you a solid background in core areas of the law and (2) provide you with the latitude to shape your legal education to reflect your career objectives and interests.
