This talk presents the overview and status of the Jefferson Lab design of an EIC (JLEIC). It features frequent collisions of small electron and ion bunches providing a luminosity of 10³³-10³⁴ cm⁻¹s⁻¹ in a broad range of the center-of-mass energy. The small size of ion bunches is maintained against intra-beam scattering by a novel high-energy bunched beam electron cooling system. The figure-8 shape of the electron and all ion rings allows for preservation and ease of manipulation of the electron polarization and the spin of any ion species. The interaction region is designed to accommodate a full-acceptance detector with complete coverage and geometry tagging in the forward and ultra-forward directions. The talk highlights recent progress in the JLEIC accelerator design and various aspects of R&D including the electron and ion complexes, integrated interaction region design, optimization of non-linear dynamics, electron and light ion polarization schemes, RF systems, crab crossing scheme, high-energy electron cooling, and magnet design.
