JD Program USD School of Law shapes its JD curriculum to meet the diverse career goals and intellectual interests of its students within the traditional educational preparation for the practice of law.

The law school also offers clinical and internship programs to give law students who have completed their first year an opportunity to earn academic credit while gaining practical experience. Three years of full-time study or four years of evening study are generally required to complete the JD degree. Upon recommendation of the dean and the faculty, the JD degree is conferred upon law students who have successfully completed all academic, graduation and residency requirements.
