JD Degree Online ACADEMIC PROGRAM The Juris Doctor (JD) program consists of 90 units earned over a three-year (full-time) or four-year (part-time) period. The State Bar of California permits Trinity Law School JD students to earn the entire accredited degree either online, on-campus, or a combination of the two. WHAT WOULD MY SCHEDULE LOOK LIKE? The majority of online Juris Doctor coursework is completed independently by the student. Live sessions via video conferencing are required at specific times. Live sessions ensure that information studied independently is sufficiently comprehended. Law school is demanding, and regular live guidance throughout the JD degree is necessary for future Bar exam success. These live sessions will be held on the first three weeks of class and every other week after that.

8. Lo Studio Della Giurisprudenza Negli Stati Uniti
8. Lo studio della Giurisprudenza negli Stati Uniti Programmi di specializzazione post-laurea (Advanced Legal Degrees) Uno degli aspetti peculiari della formazione in giurisprudenza negli States e’ che questa materia si studia solo a livellograduate. Per frequentare un corso di legge negli States uno studente deve gia’essere in possesso di un titolo di laurea di primo livello. I diplomi di laurea in giurisprudenza piu’ comuni negli States sono il Juris Doctor (JD) degree e il Master’s degree in Law(LLM). Il JD e’ il diploma che prelude all’esercizio della professione legale negli Stati Uniti e per questo e’ focalizzato soprattutto sul diritto americano (n.b. Per esercitare la professione legale negli States bisogna prima passare il bar exam e comunque essere in possesso di un visto che autorizzi il lavoro negli States).L’ LLM e’ invece un tipo di diploma che viene generalmente conseguito da chi ha gia’ una formazione legale e vuole specializzarsi in un ramo particolare del diritto come ad esempio International law, comparative law, taxation. A livello di dottorato i due diplomi piu’ importanti sono quelli di Doctor of Jiuridical Science (JSD) e di Doctor of Comparative Law Studies (DCL) che preludono per lo piu’ ad una carriera accademica in senso stretto. Riprendere dal punto: presso alcune law schools sono offerti LLM specifici per etc… Svariate università americane presso le law school conferiscono titoli di studio a livello graduate: Master of Laws (LLM) il più comune, il Master of Comparative Law (MCL), programma di specializzazione in Diritto Comparato. Solo alcune law schoolconsentono di conseguire il massimo titolo di specializzazione in giurisprudenza, il Doctor of Juridical Science (SJD).

Common Resume Mistakes
Application Materials Common Resume Mistakes 1. Using Funky Fonts, Colored Paper or Graphics Be conservative in your format. Law is still a fairly conservative profession. Employers may look negatively at your attempt to catch their attention. 2. Using a Font Size That’s Too Small You don’t want your intended audience to have to squint to read your resume. Use 12 pt., 11.5 or 11 pt. font. In some cases you can get away with a 10.5 but avoid it if you can. 3. Multiple-Page Resumes In general, you should keep your resume to one page. Having a lot of experience is a good thing. However, you should always trim your experiences to the ones most relevant to the potential employer. Some special situations require a two-page resume but this is the exception rather than the rule. Hints to getting your resume to one page: ! Trim honors and awards not relevant to legal employers – use the title “Selected Honors” ! Get rid of the Interest Section of the resume if your activities section serves the same purpose of giving some insight into who you are ! Do not list duties you had during jobs legal employers might not find relevant ! Do not list jobs legal employers might not find relevant. This is not a job history. ! Merge Volunteer activities into either Experience or Honors/Activities ! Expand your margins to .8 on top and bottom ! Decrease the size of the spaces between items but not the actual font used for the text. For example, you can make a .4 or .6 space which gives the illusion of a full 10 point space 4.

How Not to Succeed in Law School
Essays How Not to Succeed in Law School James D. Gordon HIIt I. SHOULD You Go TO LAW SCHOOL? Would you like to help the less fortunate? Would you like to see liberty and justice for all? Do you want to vindicate the rights of the oppressed? If so, you should join the Peace Corps. The last thing you should do is attend law school. People basically hate lawyers, and with good reason. That's why you'll rarely escape from a dinner party without hearing at least one lawyer joke. Indeed, literature reveals that people have always hated lawyers. Samuel Coleridge wrote in The Devil's Thoughts: He saw a Lawyer killing a Viper On a dunghill hard by his own stable; t Professor of Law, Brigham Young University Law School. B.A. 1977, Brigham Young University; J.D. 1980, Boalt Hall School of Law, University of California, Berkeley. Just for the record (in case I am ever nominated for ajudicial appointment), I don't believe a word of this Essay. And if I do, I'm only being tentative. And if I'm not, I promise to let my colleagues dissuade me from my position shortly before the Senate confirmation hearings begin. After all, I watched the Bork hearings, too. I extend apologies and thanks to Dave Barry, Eliot A. Butler, Linda Bytof, Johnny Carson, Steven Chidester, Jesse H. Choper, Michael Cohen, Paul Duke, Vaughn J. Featherstone, J.
