The overall cost of attending ASU Law is among the lowest of all American Bar Association accredited law schools. The tuition and fee estimates below assume full-time enrollment (12+ semester hours per semester) for the entire academic year. We want students to do everything they can to minimize debt while in law school so that they are well-positioned to pursue their passions upon graduation. Therefore, we strongly encourage students to follow a thrifty budget plan.
