Explore Saturday Enrichment Read more about the Saturday Enrichment ProgramHow the schedule works
Classes meet Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturday classes run 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The J.D. is a four-year course of study.
That timetable is the reason a large share of CDTA students are working adults and career changers. It is designed so that a person can become a lawyer without first becoming unemployed.
