The Certificate in Law and Business leads to a special understanding of the relationship between the law and the objectives of business clients, providing an important advantage in providing business clients with sound and effective legal advice.
Program requirements include four core business classes, a distributional requirement providing insight into the range of legal issues relevant to business clients, an in-depth research and writing experience on a business law topic, and a capstone experience developing the ability to identify and integrate all project-relevant legal issues and to effectively communicate with a business client. See Course Requirements and Learning Outcomes for details.
