UNH Law’s Hybrid Juris Doctor in Intellectual Property

[SweetSecret]

I think there are only a handful of ABA-accredited, hybrid JD programs. I've only seen five so far.

What are these five programs?

The big news is the ABA is now allowing their general ABA accredited schools to have students earn 1/3 of the required JD credits for a program online. As a result, a number of "weekend" JD programs are popping up.

*** Says up to 15 credits online based on ABA, but ABA just changed this to 30 credits, so the school should allow for 30.


Additionally, if you don't care about ABA requirements then a non-accredited JD programs also might be an option, if you plan to practice in a state like California. They still require taking the baby bar. There is a loophole where if you practice a certain number of years you can often be accepted into the bar of other states without having gone to an ABA law school. From my understanding the top notch of these is Saint Francis law which is very particular about who they accept.

Another non-ABA school that I know is very popular with both us and Canadian students is Bond University in Australia.

I can't remember who it was but one of the members here recently posted a CBE version of a JD online that was non-ABA accredited too.
