Academics

Think depth and breadth and academic rigor. Consider our stellar faculty and their unique blend of scholarly and pedagogical skills. Survey our rich array of learning opportunities: Practicum courses on poverty law, animal protection litigation and more. An LL.M. degree program on National Security Law, a J.D. course on Trial Practice taught by top Washington, D.C., practitioners. Joint degrees in law and business, international relations, security studies, public policy, and health law, to name just a few.

We offer top-ranked clinics on appellate litigation, criminal justice, domestic violence, federal legislation and other topics. And every offering — from Administrative Law to Taxation — gives students the analytical abilities and ethical sensitivity they need in today’s legal climate. Our programs have plenty of electives, too. But it might take you 40 years to try them all.
