LMU Law Tuition & Cost of Attendance

A legal education represents an investment in yourself. LMU Law is committed to ensuring fees are affordable and commensurate with the quality of its faculty, technology, and facilities.

LMU Law bills direct costs, such as tuition and fees, directly to each student. Students will also incur indirect costs, which include books, supplies, housing, parking, transportation, and other miscellaneous expenses. The first set of tables breaks down direct and indirect costs separately. The next set of tables provides the total of all costs per program.

Substantial merit-based scholarships are available and will be credited toward tuition. All other aid including federal, state, and outside scholarships will be credited to the student's account first with the above-described award picking up the balance of the student's institutional aid eligibility. No cash refunds will be made.

While we have substantial scholarship opportunities, not everyone will qualify for a scholarship.
