Courses are listed below by practice area for two reasons. One, students may be curious about what kinds of courses are relevant to a certain area of practice. For example, if a student is interested in international law or corporate law, these lists will identify the courses related to those practice areas. Two, students may find a particular course sounds interesting and want to know what other courses are related to that course and what area of practice is relevant to that course. For example, a student may be fascinated by the topic of White Collar Crime; these lists will show the student that a course on that topic is relevant both to a business practice as well as one in criminal law. See Course Descriptions for substantive descriptions of every course. We offer concentrations in some practice areas, as noted. See Concentrations for more information.
