Areas of law with verified programs

An area appears here when California Western School of Law’s own website names a concentration, certificate, clinic, center or field placement in it. The program that put it here is listed beside it.

PreLaw Advisor does not rank schools by area and does not describe any school as strong or weak in a field. A course or two in a subject is not counted; only a named, structured program is.

6 programs across 6 areas of law. Each link opens the school page the program was verified against.
