Curriculum Plans by Areas of Study
Overview
The curriculum plans below are organized by areas of study available at the Moritz College of Law: Business, Corporate, Commercial, and Tax Law; Children and Family Law; Civil Litigation; Criminal Law; Dispute Resolution; Employment and Labor Law; Health Law and Policy; Intellectual Property, Privacy, and Technology Law; International and Comparative Law; Public Interest, Justice, and Equality; Real Estate; Regulatory and Government Practice, and Environmental Law.
These plans aim to help you identify and select courses based on your academic and career interests. We however strongly encourage every student to pursue a broad legal education that includes courses beyond your area of core interest, such as bar exam courses, courses that help a student hone their “soft” lawyering skills, including communication skills, negotiation skills, and leadership skills, courses relevant to a student’s professional interests and goals, and courses that appeal to a student for any particular reason.
If you are interested in earning a certificate of concentration alongside your LL.M. diploma, we offer a certificate in one of the following six areas of concentration:
- Alternative Dispute Resolution
- Corporate or/and Business Law
- Intellectual Property and Technology Law
- International and Comparative Law
