A life-changing degree at your pace.
The Campbell FLEX JD program enables entering law students to earn a Juris Doctor degree by taking fewer hours each semester than required by the full-time JD program.
Please note: Campbell FLEX JD is NOT an evening or night program nor is it an online program. FLEX JD students must attend the same in-person classes as full-time JD students.
Campbell FLEX JD students experience:
- The same in-person classes, faculty and renowned resources enjoyed by traditional JD students
- A schedule based on your personal and professional needs
- Zero employment restrictions, allowing FLEX JD students to work full time while pursuing their law degree
- Our convenient downtown Raleigh campus
Campbell FLEX JD is perfect for:
- Working professionals looking to advance their careers without leaving their current jobs
- Paralegals eager to move to the next level in a legal career
- Real estate and service professionals who want greater control of their business
- Parents and caregivers with high ambitions but limited free time
- Individuals who couldn’t go directly from undergrad to law school
- Individuals who work for companies offering support for continued education
- Students who cannot commit to a traditional JD course load due to personal and professional obligations
- Individuals who have taken the LSAT in recent years, but haven’t enrolled in law school
Throughout the first two years of study under Campbell FLEX, students are required to complete the standard first-year curriculum. Students must then complete the same course work required of traditional students.
Campbell FLEX participants must complete all degree requirements within 84 months (or seven years according to the American Bar Assocation), take at least five credit hours in each fall and spring semester, and take no more than nine credit hours in each fall and spring semester. A student, AFTER completing the first-year curriculum in the scheduled two years, may elect at any time to become a full-time student by enrolling in more than nine credit hours in a single semester.
