Two-Year Juris Doctor of Law - International Lawyers and Law School Graduates

Program Description

As a lawyer, students will face a unique set of challenges every day, from negotiating complex agreements to successfully arguing motions in court. That is why DePaul College of Law offers theoretical instruction that will prepare them to tackle cutting edge legal problems, along with creative approaches to practical skills training. In the classroom and in the field, DePaul’s comprehensive curriculum prepares them for legal practice and beyond.

Foreign-trained lawyers, and other graduates of foreign, non-U.S. law schools, may earn a Juris Doctor (JD) degree from DePaul University College of Law in only two years. The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) is not required for admission. DePaul is one of a small number of law schools to offer a two-year JD program that does not require the LSAT. Graduates of the Two-Year JD Program for International Lawyers are eligible to take the bar exam and become licensed in any state in the United States.
