Intellectual Property
The 12 credit hours of specialized study must include at least two of the following classes: Patent Law, Trademark Law, Copyright Law, and Trade Secret Law.
The remaining units must be taken from the Intellectual Property/High Tech Law curriculum.

Within the 12 credit hours of specialized study, participants must select courses from any of the three broad categories of social justice classes.
International and Comparative Law
The goal for participants within the International and Comparative Law specialization is to ensure that the participant is exposed to the law of at least three countries:
*The participant’s home country
*The United States
*One other country or region
Students must take their 12 credit hours by taking one course from each of the following areas:
*Public International Law (e.g., International Law, International Organizations, Legal Aspects of War, International Environmental Law, Human Rights, Law of the Sea)
*Private International Law (e.g., International Business Transactions, Globalization and the Law, International Trade)
*Comparative Law (e.g., European Union, Comparative Intellectual Property, Comparative Law Seminar)
*Summer Abroad (academic portion required, internship portion optional)
The abroad program selection should not be a program in a country where the participant received their primary law degree.
The credit hours earned abroad will count toward the 24 credit hours required for graduation.
The credit hours earned abroad may count toward one or more of the specialization area requirements.
