During your second and third years at the Law School, you will have the opportunity to explore the curriculum to develop or enhance a practice-area interest and build the lawyering skills essential for your future law career. While you must remain mindful of the Graduation Requirements for JD Students and Wisconsin Diploma Privilege Requirements, you are encouraged to take advantage of a wide range of elective courses, Clinical Programs, Externships and field placement opportunities, co-curriculars (journals, moot court, and mock trial) and other credit-earning experiences.

For detailed guidance on the Law School’s upper-level curriculum and strategies for building a course schedule aligned with your academic and career goals, please consult the Planning Your Academic Program webpage.
