专业概况

在这里学什么？

Lawyers advise and represent individuals, businesses, and government agencies on legal issues and disputes. They act as both advocates and advisors. Attorneys may specialize in a single area or may practice broadly in many areas of law.

The combined Bachelor of Arts and Juris Doctor program permits you to complete your academic training in six years, earning an undergraduate degree from St. John’s College and a Juris Doctor degree from the St. John’s School of Law. In the combined degree program, you complete a minimum of 99 undergraduate credits during your first three years of study and enter St. John's University School of Law at the beginning of your fourth year of study. Courses from the required first year curriculum of the School of Law are counted toward both the baccalaureate and J.D. degrees. Following completion of the first year of law school with a required minimum C average, you will receive your bachelor's degree. Upon the completion of the law school curriculum, you will be awarded the Juris Doctor degree.

You should consult the Pre-Law Advisors in St. John’s College for additional information about the specific majors relevant to the program and for an application.

Career Outcomes

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2016-17 Editions) employment of lawyers is projected to grow 6 percent from 2014 to 2024, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Demand for legal work is expected to continue as individuals, businesses, and all levels of government require legal services in many areas.

Law firms will continue to be the largest employers of attorneys while many large corporations are increasing their in-house legal departments. This will result in an increase in the demand of lawyers in various settings such as financial and insurance firms, consulting firms, and health care providers.

Also, the federal government is likely to continue to need lawyers to prosecute or defend civil cases on behalf of the United States, prosecute criminal cases brought by the federal government, and collect money owed to the federal government. It is projected that budgetary constraints at all levels of government will likely moderate employment growth.

This course will also offer in School of Law.
