The Elon Difference

Elon Law prepares practice-ready lawyers through an innovative curriculum grounded in experiential legal education. With full-time J.D. programs in and Charlotte and a part-time Flex Program in Charlotte, students gain the knowledge, practical skills and professional connections to succeed in today’s legal profession.

One School. Two Cities. Endless Opportunity.

Elon Law offers legal education in two of North Carolina’s largest legal markets. Students can attend law school in Charlotte or Greensboro, pursuing a full-time 2.5-year J.D. at each campus, while working professionals can earn their J.D. through the part-time Flex Program in Charlotte.

At both campuses — the downtown Greensboro campus and, beginning in Fall 2027, the Queens University of Charlotte campus in historic Myers Park —  students benefit from Elon Law’s experiential approach, dedicated faculty and strong connections to the legal profession.

Elon Law offers an innovative curriculum that connects rigorous academics with real-world legal practice. Full-time students complete their J.D. in just 2.5 years over seven trimesters, allowing them to graduate sooner and begin their legal careers earlier.

The curriculum is intentionally designed to move students from learning legal doctrine to applying it through writing, advocacy, problem-solving and real-world experience.

Learn by Doing

Experiential learning is at the heart of an Elon Law education. Students connect legal theory with practice through the signature Residency-in-Practice, live-client legal clinics, Moot Court and Mock Trial programs, legal writing and other hands-on experiences.

Students graduate with practical skills, professional connections and real-world experience that prepare them to contribute from the start of their careers.
