Your immersion in experiential learning begins on day one. Many 1Ls volunteer in the community through the Minnesota Justice Foundation and work as research assistants. After the first year, students can work in legal settings through externships and semester-placement programs and also represent clients\u2014under the supervision of experienced faculty\u2014as part of the clinical program. Our experiential focus is one reason we were named one of the best law schools for practical training by National Jurist.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"default\">\n<li><a title=\"Curriculum\" href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/academics\/\">A rigorous, practice-based experience<\/a><\/li>\n<li>A degree that prepares you for practice:\n<ul class=\"default\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/academics\/the-mitchell-hamline-jd\/experience-in-the-classroom\/\">In the Classroom<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/academics\/the-mitchell-hamline-jd\/experience-in-simulated-practice\/\">In Simulated Practice<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/academics\/the-mitchell-hamline-jd\/experience-in-the-real-world\/\">In the Real World<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Public Service\" href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/legal-practice-center\/minnesota-justice-foundation\/\">Public service through the Minnesota Justice Foundation<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Enrollment options to fit your life<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"\/admission\/yellow-ribbon-program\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-4018\" src=\"\/admission\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/06\/yellow-ribbon-home-page-button.png\" alt=\"A Yellow Ribbon law school\" width=\"230\" height=\"129\" \/><\/a>Mitchell Hamline has designed enrollment options to fit the demands of our students\u2019 lives.<br \/>\nFull-time and part-time on-campus options and part-time blended-learning enrollment.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"default\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/academics\/j-d-enrollment-options\/full-time\/\">Full time<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/academics\/j-d-enrollment-options\/part-time\/\">Part time, day or evening<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/academics\/j-d-enrollment-options\/blended-learning-at-mitchell-hamline\/\">Blended learning (part-time)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mitchellhamline.edu\/academics\/j-d-enrollment-options\/\">Compare enrollment options<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each unique schedule features innovative curriculum developed to maximize learning.<\/p>\n<div class=\"panel panel-images\">\r\n        <style>\r\n            @media (min-width:600px) {\r\n                .panel-images .panel-inside .panel-image {\r\n                    background-image: url(\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/campus-flowers-jpg.webp\");\r\n                }\r\n                            .panel-images .panel-inside .panel-image.tc {\r\n                    background-image: url(\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/saint-paul-jpg.webp\");\r\n                }\r\n}           .no-mediaqueries .panel-images .panel-inside .panel-image {\r\n                background-image: url(\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/campus-flowers.jpg\");\r\n            }               \r\n\r\n            .no-mediaqueries .panel-images .panel-inside .panel-imagetc {\r\n                background-image: url(\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/saint-paul.jpg\");\r\n            }               \r\n        <\/style>\r\n        <a href=\"\/life\/\" class=\"panel-inside\">\r\n        <div class=\"panel-image\">\r\n          <header class=\"panel-header\">\r\n            <h2>Life at Mitchell Hamline<\/h2>\r\n          <\/header>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <\/a> <a href=\"\/life\/living-in-the-twin-cities\/\" class=\"panel-inside\">\r\n        <div class=\"panel-image tc\">\r\n          <header class=\"panel-header\">\r\n            <h2>Living in the Twin Cities<\/h2>\r\n          <\/header>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <\/a> <\/div>\n<h2>Is law school further into your future?<\/h2>\n<p>Learn more about our Pre-Law Programs for current college students, recent college grads, and even high school students.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/pre-law\/\">Pre-Law Programs<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Admission to Mitchell Hamline It takes more than knowing the law to be a great lawyer.
