Programs published by the school

Joint and dual degrees

A J.D. earned together with a second degree, usually in less time than the two would take separately. Each pairing is specific to the school that offers it.

Concentrations and courses of study

Defined paths through the J.D. curriculum and study at partner institutions.

Certificates

Credentials a school awards for completing a defined set of courses, either alongside the J.D. or as a stand-alone program.

Clinics and field placements

Supervised legal work with real clients or in real legal settings, for credit.

Centers and institutes

Research and program centers that organize a school's teaching, scholarship and events in a field.

Journals and advocacy programs

Student-edited publications and competitive advocacy programs.

Moot court and trial advocacy programs (1)

Advanced law degrees

Degrees for people who already hold a first degree in law, in the United States or abroad.

These are not J.D. programs. The ABA Council approves a school’s J.D. program; it does not approve or accredit these degrees.

Master's degrees for non-lawyers

Graduate degrees in legal studies for professionals who work with the law but do not intend to practise. They do not qualify graduates to sit for the bar.

These are not J.D. programs. The ABA Council approves a school’s J.D. program; it does not approve or accredit these degrees.
