JD students in good standing, except for international students and students attending as visitors, are eligible for the Exchange Program. The Exchange will operate only in the fall and spring trimesters and will be limited to 10 students from each school each term. Students must obey the regulations of both schools. Units taken at Thomas Jefferson will count against the total of 8 units that may be transferred from another law school. Thomas Jefferson units will be considered as part of the academic load at CWSL.
