CURRICULUM


Depth and Breadth of Curriculum


Internet publishing. Elder care. Genetic medical therapies. Homeland security. So many changes on the landscape of our society require visionary adaptations to coursework and curricular offerings. Case School of Law takes an innovative approach to curriculum evaluation that ensures students are prepared for tomorrow's challenges. Since 1999, we've added more than 150 new courses, seven Concentrations, and two additional dual degree programs.

With more than 300 courses, our curriculum offers unparalleled depth and breadth of study. Whether you choose to pursue a broad-based course of study or study in-depth an area of particular interest to you, the extensive selection of courses will fully support your educational goals.

We pride ourselves on blending the best of classical legal education with leading-edge innovations. We are facing fundamental changes in the world and in the legal profession head-on. The expansion and growing complexity of the law; the effects of globalization on virtually every segment of our economic, social, and political lives; and the quest for a fair and effective legal system have altered the responsibilities of lawyers and the skills and learning that our graduates need. Our goal is to ensure that our graduates will be prepared to understand their clients' enterprises and the economic, social, and political context in which they operate.

Our aggressive and visionary curriculum provides students with flexibility in their upper-class electives, offering extensive course options in emerging and leading-edge areas of the law, a coherent framework for both in-depth and interdisciplinary learning, innovative methods of instruction, an understanding of the context in which legal matters and disputes take place, and extensive and unique experiential learning selections.
