The UCLA School of Law is designed to produce lawyers who are well-prepared for the various private and public roles that are assigned to members of the legal profession. The school pioneered clinical teaching, is a leader in interdisciplinary research and training, and is at the forefront of efforts to link research to its effects on society and the legal profession. Students do not undertake a specific major but have the opportunity to enroll in a wide variety of courses dealing with various legal fields.
The law school is unique in that it also offers students an opportunity to specialize in six specific areas of law: business law and policy; critical race studies; international and comparative law; law and philosophy; media, entertainment, and technology law and policy; and public interest law and policy.
The school offers a three-year curriculum leading to the Juris Doctor (JD) degree and three advanced degrees—Master of Laws (LLM), Master of Legal Studies (MLS), and Doctor of Juridical Science (SJD).
The undergraduate courses offered by the School of Law are designed for undergraduate students only. For information about the legal curriculum of the School of Law, see the school website.
