Welcome to Regent Law

At Regent University School of Law, earn your J.D., LL.M., M.A. or B.A. to gain the expert legal reasoning necessary to lead the change you want to see. With Christ-centered truth and justice as your compass, Regent Law can equip you to succeed.

Why Should You Earn a Juris Doctor?

Many students pursue a Juris Doctor (J.D.) to prepare for the bar exam and the courtroom. According to the Association of American Law Schools (AALS), a J.D. is “the first professional law degree required to practice law in the United States.” However, the legal field is vast, and the credentials of a J.D. can lead to impactful opportunities for attorneys, judges, policymakers, and other positions of great influence and leadership. A J.D., typically a three-year degree, signals an advanced level of expertise and specialization that empowers a professional future with choices. The Regent Law program is rigorous, but the tools and experience it provides are rewarding. Regent Law graduates advance as practice-ready professionals, prepared to serve and succeed as Christian Leaders to Change the World.

Jim Mischel Jr., J.D., 1996 CEO, Electric Mirror; CEO Safeology

“Regent gave me an understanding of how to think about law and how to think like a lawyer; it also gave me practical classes and training to do good and help people.”

Corrynn Peters, Juris Doctor (J.D.), 2003 Founding Partner of Phillips & Peters, PLLC

“At Regent, it was 'law first' and then we talked about how the law is influenced by the spiritual and moral side—that was a valuable lesson I'll always be thankful to Regent for providing.”

Elizabeth Beavers, J.D., 2012
