Online Degrees - Can You Get a Law Degree Online?

Whatever your academic standing, career status, or professional objective, you can enroll today and begin studying for a law degree online.

You may choose a traditional law school curriculum that leads to your Juris Doctor(JD) degree and prepares you for entry to the bar. The internet offers such a wife array of legal studies, though, you may choose exactly the legal curriculum that suits your needs and wishes. For undergraduates eager to attend one of the nation's elite law schools, earning a degree in criminal justice at an online university radically reduces costs and dramatically speeds progress to a diploma.

Studying in intensive online programs, many people complete their bachelors' degrees in twenty-four to thirty-six months. For other students interested in the legal profession but reluctant about studying for admission to the bar, online certification programs lead to rewarding careers as paralegals and legal researchers. For many working professionals, study at an online law school represents an inexpensive, efficient alternative to the high cost and crushing competition characteristic of most traditional law schools.

If you work in a field that requires extensive command of the law-human relations, accounting, or real estate, for example-look into online programs that lead to "Executive Juris Doctor" (EJD) degrees. An EJD certifies your command of a legal specialty, and it gives you leverage on higher salaries and better positions. Several prestigious online law schools offer specialized programs focused on law and technology; other programs focus on criminal justice for law enforcement officers. Students in these programs complete the demanding first-year curriculum required of all law students, learning the law's fundamentals. After the first year, though, EJD students develop courses of study dovetailed with their jobs' requirements. Adapted to the demands of working professionals, these programs require only part-time registration, and most students complete their degree requirements in three years instead of four.

At first glance, the hierarchy of law degrees may seem a little bit confusing, because "Master" comes before "Doctor' in most other disciplines and specialties. In law, however, Doctor precedes Master. If you already hold a Juris Doctor degree and seek advanced training in a legal specialty, you may pursue a Master of Laws in an online program. Most Master of Laws students already have successful practices, but they seek strategic and tactical advantage from advanced study. Especially attorneys in corporate practice enhance their credentials with Master of Laws degrees in financial services, international taxation, compliance and risk management, wealth management, United States taxation, or bankruptcy and restructuring.
