Fortunately, we&rsquo;ve created a curriculum that allows you to complete our JD program through flexibly scheduled part-time study, usually in four years.<\/h4>\r\n<p>The part-time program meets the needs of working professionals seeking to earn a JD while balancing job and\/or family. If you work evenings or take care of kids at night, you can attend part-time classes during the day. If you&rsquo;re on the job from 9 to 5, opt for classes three or four nights a week.<\/p>\r\n<p>Just over 70 students are currently enrolled in the part-time program, a large enough group to create a cohesive community while small enough to ensure that all students have ample access to faculty.<\/p>\r\n<p>As a part-time student, you can participate in a full range of curricular and extracurricular options, including <em>Widener Law Journal<\/em>, the <em>Widener Journal of Law, Economics and Race,<\/em> the Moot Court Honor Society, and the Trial Advocacy Honor Society.<\/p>\r\n<p>Widener&rsquo;s Extended Division has been the starting point for alumni now successful in a broad array of endeavors, from Pennsylvania&rsquo;s auditor general to the president of a major insurance company, to associates with private firms practicing in areas ranging from intellectual property to labor and employment law.<\/p>\r\n<h5>Typical Fall Class Schedule&mdash;First-Year Part-time Student Taking Evening Classes<\/h5>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Civil Procedure I <\/strong>(3 credits) Tuesday 7:45-9:35 PM \/ Thursday 7:35-8:30 PM<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Contracts I <\/strong>(3 credits) Monday 8:00-9:25 PM \/ Thursday 6:00-7:25 PM<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Torts I<\/strong> (2 credits) Monday 6:00-7:50 PM<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Legal Methods I <\/strong>(3 credits) Tuesday 6:00-7:25 PM \/ Thursday 8:40-10:05 PM<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h5>Typical Fall Class Schedule&mdash;First-Year Part-time Student Taking Day Classes<\/h5>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>Civil Procedure I<\/strong> (3 credits) Monday 1:00-2:25 PM \/ Thursday 2:10-3:35 PM<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Contracts I <\/strong>(3 credits) Wednesday and Friday 1:00&ndash;2:25 PM<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Torts I <\/strong>(2 credits) Tuesday and Thursday 9:30-10:25 AM<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Legal Methods I <\/strong>(3 credits) Tuesday 1:10-2:35 PM \/ Friday 9:00-10:25 AM<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>While this class schedule is typical, the times that classes meet each day do vary slightly from year to year.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<strong>&ldquo;The Evening Division Program at Widener made going to law school a reality for me.
