Specialty Programs

Faculty-led specialty programs allow faculty and students to interact with distinguished leaders who influence disciplines, society, the nation, and the world.

Program activities include lectures, guest speakers, conferences, and symposiums, and offer enhanced learning opportunities to prepare students for the evolving legal market. These are not majors or concentrations in the traditional sense but faculty-led areas of academic interest and strength within the College of Law.
