How long does it take to earn a law degree?
The full time student is expected to complete a law degree, usually 80 to 90 credit hours, in three years. Some states have a maximum time frame to complete a degree, my state saying all the credits must be completed within 5 years to qualify to take the bar exam. I completed my degree in four years while working full time. And to add to the fun, Spring break my 1L year my wife gave birth to twins.
