Students at Lincoln Memorial University Duncan School of Law (LMU Law) in Knoxville will be able to take high-level, specialized courses at three ABA-accredited schools for no cost starting in spring 2026, the ABA Journal reports. Through a course-sharing agreement, Tennessee students will have access to online courses at Suffolk University Law School in Boston, St. Mary’s University School of Law in San Antonio and Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles. Administrators say the agreement will expand access to niche courses, reduce administrative burdens and enrich learning by connecting students across institutions. The long-term goal is to balance participation among the schools and potentially expand the program to more law schools. “Even though our part-time hybrid students already attend law school with students from all over the country, the opportunity to actually be enrolled in classes with students enrolled in different law schools will enrich their law school experiences,” said LMU Law Dean Matthew Lyon.
