I’m a foreign-trained lawyer from Brazil considering the University of Dayton Online LL.M. program with the goal of taking the D.C. Bar Exam in February 2028.

I’m also a mother of three, work while studying, and run a nonprofit organization. I’m trying to realistically plan my course load.

For students who completed (or are currently completing) the Online LL.M.:

- How many courses per term did you take?
- Did anyone successfully complete 3 courses per term while working or raising children?
- Was 4 courses too much?
- How many hours per week were you realistically studying?
- If you could do it again, would you choose full-time or part-time?

I’d especially love to hear from foreign-trained lawyers balancing family and work responsibilities.

Thank you!
