Admission is open to any law student in good academic standing at his or her
law school who has completed the first year of full-time or part-time study.
Admission is also open to attorneys on a space-available basis to audit classes
or take classes for continuing legal education credit.
The Accreditation Committee of the American Bar Association Section of Legal
Education approved Touro’s proposal for a summer school program in the summer
of 2007, but because of certain logistical issues, the program was not offered.
With everything now in place, Touro has applied for and anticipates
authorization of the 2008 summer program from the ABA. However, each
applicant’s school still has the discretion whether to accept the transfer of
summer credits.
While most schools will accept summer credits, each applicant should determine
the policy of his or her school in advance. If any problems arise, please
contact Touro Law Center directly for assistance in helping to explain the
details of the summer program.
Applicants who are interested in using this summer credit to accelerate
graduation should check with their Registrar’s Office to determine whether the
summer program meets residency requirements. It is unlikely that the credits in
a foreign summer program can be used to accelerate graduation.
