The UW Law School faculty has established Curricular Concentrations in several areas of studies. These are not technically "Certificate Programs," but qualifying students are nevertheless given a document reflecting the curricular achievement. No official designation is included on students' transcripts.

Learn more about each Curricular Concentration and the corresponding requirements:

• Criminal Law Concentration
• Family Law Concentration
• Estate Planning Concentration
• International & Comparative Law Concentration
• Labor & Employment Law Concentration
• Real Estate Law Concentration
• Business Law Concentration

For general recommendations in other areas of practice, view the Specialize Curriculum section of the J.D. Curriculum.

Though not required, if you plan to pursue a curricular concentration, contact your Academic Advisor to develop an academic plan to meet your goals and to address your questions. You do not need to notify the Law School that you plan to claim a curricular concentration in advance; in your final semester, follow the instructions you receive via email to claim one or more curricular concentrations.
