Alumni Advantage Program
Here at The John Marshall Law School, we understand the challenges facing law school graduates today and are moving aggressively to address them. We see these difficult times as an opportunity for forward-thinking professionals to reinvest in themselves. To encourage this reinvestment, John Marshall is continuing the Alumni Advantage Program (AAP) - promoting a shared responsibility for the post-graduate professional growth of our alumni.
Available Programs
For qualified graduates, the AAP will entail a 50% reduction in the prevailing tuition rate for each of the following programs:
Audit Programs
Any John Marshall graduate may audit a JD course at 50% of the prevailing tuition rate. These courses are subject to seat availability. Certain skills courses, at the discretion of the law school, will not be available to graduates. Graduates auditing a course cannot take the final exam.
LLM Programs*
JD graduates from 2007 - 2011 may apply to one of our six LLM programs, and, if accepted and qualify, may enroll at 50% of the prevailing tuition rate. In order to qualify for LLM program enrollment, applicants must earn $50,000 or less on an annualized basis. As the LLM requires 24 hours for completion, applicants need to apply on a full-time basis to complete the degree in a single academic year. John Marshall offers LLMs in the following areas:
* Enrollment in an LLM program may qualify you for health insurance, financial aid and deferment of student loans. In order to be considered for financial aid, qualifying applicants must be enrolled in a minimum of three (3) hours in an LLM program, per semester. Attorneys are eligible to receive CLE credit for all courses completed, including audited courses.
