JD Concentrations
There are four concentrations available to JD students: Health Law; Civil Litigation and Dispute Resolution; Criminal Law; and Law and Religion. The Health Law and Law and Religion concentrations require an application, but all students can complete the litigation concentrations. Even if you do not complete a concentration, the required and recommended courses can help you prepare for a career in these fields.

Exceptional Experiences
“In February 2018, I was unexpectedly seated next to United States Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor at a private brunch. She asked questions about my interests and told me that I could help people of color without committing to only doing civil rights law. It's a moment I will never forget—the capstone on my career here.” -Victoria Sparks, 2018 Graduate, Juris Doctor
