This unique program is designed to accommodate the schedules of students who might typically enter a part-time law program, but need even more flexibility for work or family obligations. The program provides this increased flexibility through uniquely tailored combinations of online and in-person instructional components. The program will provide students with maximum flexibility while maintaining a rigorous course of study that will prepare them for the realities of law practice, and will do so using the latest in evidence-based teaching and learning tools. FlexTime students will be able to complete the requirements for their JD in four years.

As part of the FlexTime JD Program, classes are offered in a hybrid model which requires students to attend classes in person generally for 12 Sundays for each of the Fall and Spring semesters, plus two Sundays for final exams per semester and a possible alternative Sunday should a makeup day be required. Students must attend one summer semester, generally 7 weeks of Sunday classes plus at least one additional Sunday for final exams and any makeup Sunday that may be required. The remainder of classwork is completed asynchronously, allowing students to complete the work when and where it fits their individual schedules.

All content, both in-person and online, is delivered in a manner that matches the standards for Touro’s full-time day program. In fact, the extended in-person sessions and online delivery platform provide numerous teaching and learning opportunities unique to the FlexTime JD^SM Program.

While it is a unique program, it is also fully integrated into the fabric of the law school. FlexTime students have the opportunity to become involved in every aspect of law school life including clinics, pro bono activities, student organizations, and honor societies including Law Review, Moot Court, and TAPS. FlexTime students are serving as leaders of the law school in various organizations.
