Our three-year curriculum is deep and diverse. It begins with traditional courses and expands to include the latest in theoretical and interdisciplinary analyses. The first-year curriculum provides the foundation in history, doctrine, process and analysis that students need to fully appreciate more specialized courses offered later in law school.

In the second and third years of law school, our program is almost entirely elective. It includes a wide range of courses and approaches. Some of our classes are purely theoretical and doctrinal. Some focus on particular industries, such as health, pharmaceuticals, and entertainment and sports law. We also offer many opportunities for experiential learning and other courses designed to enable students to be sophisicated entrants into the worlds of business, government and law practice.

In addition to our especially strong programs in business, environmental law and international law, we have one of the best criminal law programs in the region. Our J.D. students can also take advantage of one of nine joint-degree programs, which we offer in cooperation with other colleges, schools and departments at Florida State University. The most popular of these is our J.D.-M.B.A. program. Others include programs in International Affairs, Public Administration, Social Work and Sport Management.
