Part-Time JD Program

Denver Law has a long history of demonstrating a commitment to part-time students, with nearly a century of teaching, mentoring and supporting working adults who want to earn a law degree.


Maximize Your Time

Balance your career, family, and educational goals with curriculum designed for your schedule. Courses are offered up to one-third online — on your schedule — and on campus every other weekend. The semester is comprised of eight weekend sessions and two additional weekends for final examinations.

Earn Your JD

Ranked #11 by U.S. News & World Report, our Part-Time JD Program offers innovative learning with a global perspective taught by nationally-acclaimed faculty members.

Pass the Bar

With a remarkable 86% Colorado bar passage rate for first-time takers in July 2023, the Sturm College of Law has a demonstrated track record of preparing graduates to pass the bar. We are building on that success by offering Themis bar prep courses at no cost to all current and incoming JD students. 

Build Your Future

You will gain the practical skills to make an immediate and valuable legal impact, as well as join a professional network that’s over 19,000 alumni strong and counting.

I appreciate that Denver Law gives working, non-traditional students like me an opportunity to fulfill their dreams without totally disrupting their lives. Opportunities to pursue a legal career would have been nearly non-existent without this program.
