Courses to Build Your Case

We help shape the minds of our students the same way a case is built: with strong foundations and substantive material. An education in criminal law begins during a student’s first semester, with Criminal Law, which provides a comprehensive view of modern criminal code. Advanced courses allow students to shape their education in the way they wish, whether that is through Criminal Practice, Counter Terrorism Law and Policy, or many more options.

In the Courtroom and Beyond

Coursework provides the basis for a successful criminal law career, but application helps prepare students for those careers. Experiential opportunities such as State Appellate Prosecutor and Legal Externships, and active participation in student organizations such as the Criminal Law Society, allow students to use analytical thinking, problem-solving, research, pre-trial and trial skills, negotiation, and other critical skills that help set them up for real-world success.
