Students who are working full-time are strongly advised to limit their course load to two to four credits per semester. Part-time students are required to take their examinations as scheduled. Rescheduling is permitted only in limited circumstances see the Postponing Examinations portion regarding Examinations in the Law School Academic Policies for more information.
Therefore, part-time students should clear their exam schedules with their employers before finalizing course schedules.

This may include charges, convictions, arrests, and other forms of involvement in the criminal justice system. Applicants are encouraged to determine the requirements for any jurisdiction in which they intend to seek admission by contacting the jurisdiction. NYU Law will use information shared in the Character and Fitness section of the application to advise and support admitted students. Applicants who completed any post-secondary work outside of the US including its territories or Canada, must use this service for the evaluation of foreign transcripts.

How do I apply to the JD program? What are your JD application deadlines? Does applying Early Decision increase my chances of admission? Is there any particular undergraduate coursework that the Committee on Admissions values highly? Is someone with a graduate degree at an advantage in applying to law school? Online classes are recorded versions of our on campus course offerings, which feature faculty lecturing and interacting with students. Many classes meet in two hour blocks, and we generally split these classes in videos of approximately minutes each, though a few class videos may be 75 or minutes in length.
Students are not required to watch an entire class video in a single sitting, and may instead watch class videos in shorter segments of 20 or 40 minutes, as their schedule allows. Students may watch videos as many times as they like during the semester. Each class typically requires you to complete assignments and readings ahead of time. For a typical two-credit class, expect to spend 2 hours a week watching class videos and hours a week preparing for that class.
We teach using the problem method, which explores the tax code through a discussion of commonly encountered scenarios. After completing the problems, students watch the corresponding class, which typically discusses the problem sets. At the end of the semester, an exam is given. Shortly after an exam is held, access to course videos ends. Videos are streamed and require continuous access to the internet to view. Videos can be watched on mobile devices, but cannot be downloaded.
We do require students to meet attendance deadlines for each course. For 1 credit courses or summer courses, which are taught on an abbreviated schedule, we typically only have a single attendance deadline. Details about attendance deadlines are posted on each course website. The maximum length of time one can take to complete the MSL degree is five years.
Most students find they are able to complete the credit program in three to four years, depending on how many credits they enroll in each semester. See below for more information on the award of advanced standing or transfer credits from prior academic coursework. Some students are able to finish after only two years of part-time study. Students must enroll in at least one credit in each fall or spring semester, though they may request a leave of absence for one or two semesters for any reason.
Students may take summer session courses to hasten the completion of their studies, but are not required to do so. Taking a leave of absence does not extend the period of study and does incur a fee for maintaining matriculation. Students in the MSL program study online on a part-time basis and may register for up to six credits each semester.
We often cap registration at five credits, so please contact Elizabeth. Robison nyu. Each class is typically between one and three credits, with most online classes being two credit hours. Most of our practicing part-time LLM students find that two or three credits per semester is a manageable course load.
Our courses are designed for practicing tax professionals, so when a prerequisite is listed, we generally will not waive it based on any work experience or based on a non-law school course. Courses which feature numbers in the title are meant to be taken in order, e. Many of our part-time students have tax experience, but find that our courses cover a broad range of topics in great depth, often touching upon areas which with they are unfamiliar.
