Earn Your B.A. in Law

Do you desire to work in the legal community sooner than it would take to earn your J.D.? Regent’s Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Law* is a pathway to work in courthouses, probation-parole offices, law enforcement, government agencies, and, in certain jurisdictions, assist people in the community with their legal needs—all without a law license. Presented from a Christian worldview, classes introduce you to litigation and transactional settings, legal communication and research, administrative law, trial advocacy, contracts, crime and punishment, civil procedure, family law, and more. You will examine the legal, moral, and ethical duties that apply to judges, attorneys, paraprofessionals, administrators, and criminal justice workers. You’ll also study the United States Constitution—its words, meaning, and interpretation by courts and other institutions.

For those students who wish to become attorneys, Regent’s 3+3 Law Program lets your first year as a J.D. student count as the last year of your B.A. in Law program—allowing you to go from high school to the bar exam and the practice of law in just six years!

"My fellow Marines were always faithful to their fellow brothers and sisters, without exception. At Regent, I found the same family in the body of Christ represented by the students and faculty that make up the law school."
