What the prices here tell you

The 14 priced courses on this page run from $30.00 to $249.00, with the middle of the range around $59.99 — a spread of $219.00. That is a wide gap for one subject. A higher price on this page usually reflects who is behind the course rather than how much material it contains, so it is worth opening two or three at different price points and comparing their syllabus before deciding.

Who is behind these courses

These courses come from Coursera, edX and Udemy. The platforms differ in how they sell: some charge once per course, others expect a subscription, and the listed price is not always what you pay at checkout after a promotion. 12 of these are produced by a named university or institution, including University of Michigan, University of Geneva and Pepperdine University — which usually means a fixed syllabus and a recognised certificate, rather than an individual instructor’s own course.

Courses versus exam preparation

1 of the entries here are built around a certification exam rather than teaching Law from scratch. They are the right choice only if you already know the material and want to pass a specific exam; if you are starting out, pick one of the taught courses first and come back to exam preparation afterwards.

Before you enrol

Open the provider’s own page and check three things this comparison cannot tell you: when the course was last updated, what the syllabus actually covers in its later sections, and what recent learners say. Prices shown here are the provider’s listed price when we last rebuilt this page — they change often, and a promotion can move them substantially. We earn a commission if you enrol through our links, which costs you nothing and never affects the order courses appear in.
