“I wanted to make sure you heard from me saying thank you. It would be difficult for me to be going to law school in person, given my circumstances and where I live, so this opportunity has been and is very important to me…..I want to thank all the folks who have worked tirelessly to pull this program together so that people like me can have an opportunity to study the law.” – Student, CSU|Law J.D. online part-time (JDO) program
"My biggest piece of advice is don't feel like it's impossible… ‘Am I going to be able to be there for my family, and have my career? Is my career going to suffer because I waited to go to law school?’ So if you're thinking about similar concerns, don't worry about it. Go for it. You are not going to regret it if it's something that you're truly passionate about.” - Student, CSU|Law J.D. online part-time (JDO) program
“I just want to say that I LOVED my first year of law school, so thank you for making it possible for me!” - Student, CSU|Law J.D. online part-time (JDO) program
Many law schools do not have a part-time program. We have both a full-time and part-time JD program, and for the first time in our law school history, we have a J.D. online part-time program that puts us at the forefront of the rapidly changing legal education landscape.
Our CSU|Law JD Online Part-Time Program (JDO Program) is one of the first accredited online J.D. programs in the country. Nearly 80% of our 1L JDO students are from out of state (24 different states); the average age is 37; and many have one or more advanced graduate degrees.
Applications for the limited number of spots in our online program increased substantially again this year with the vast majority from outside of Ohio. Visit the CSU|Law JDO website to hear directly from our online students and learn more about this exciting program.
If you’re looking for an online part-time JD program that’s rigorous, high quality, affordable, flexible, and accessible without having to relocate, leave your family, or cease employment, start here!
Ours is a law degree that fits your life and jumpstarts your future.
Have a great day. Have a great week.
