Prof.D in Law

This Juris Doctor program provides a practice-ready legal education built on ethical values, inclusiveness and practical experience. Mentoring from faculty, practical work in the Chicago legal community and a big alumni network help graduates serve clients and influence policy. The curriculum combines required core courses with electives. Learning outcomes include solving legal problems with foundational knowledge, applying legal authority, communicating clearly and demonstrating professional lawyering skills. New applicants can no longer enter the part-time evening option from the Fall 2026 class onward. The program is offered through DePaul University, and its catalog entry sets out the required courses, learning outcomes and application steps. Prospective students should review that page and speak with an advisor to plan how the degree fits their goals and prior coursework.
