The Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law is an ABA accredited law school located in Orlando, Florida. The school is an academic college of Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida. The school's mission is to educate students to become responsible lawyers, trained to assume an active role in the legal community. At Barry Law, students are trained to act in strict accord with the highest ethical standards and to exercise their professional skills competently, with sensitivity to the needs and concerns of their clients. Students at Barry Law have many opportunities to experience the "law-in-action" concept, both in the classroom and through practical application. Small classes foster a collegial student/professor relationship and enable the School of Law to provide legal education at its best. Barry Law offers a three-year daytime program structured for full-time students. The School of Law also offers a four-year extended studies program in the evening to accommodate working adults or anyone who, for whatever reason, is unable to pursue three full-time years of study toward a law degree.
