LAW SCHOOL ADDS CONCENTRATIONS IN IMMIGRATION AND LAW, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE & EVOLVING TECHNOLOGIES
In response to emerging and in-demand practice areas, the School of Law this fall introduced degree concentrations in Immigration Law and Law, Artificial Intelligence and Evolving Technologies . Both concentrations offer students an opportunity to add a focused area of study to their J.D. and develop expertise that signals to future employers their commitment to a career in these fields. The Immigration Law concentration combines an established strength of the School of Law's program, experiential learning in a clinic or externship, with coursework in immigration policy, advocacy and representation--equipping students to navigate one of the most complex and consequential areas of legal practice.
Courses in the Law, Artificial Intelligence and Evolving Technologies concentration examine both the legal and technical dimensions of emerging innovations—including AI, blockchain, biotechnology, cybersecurity, intellectual property and data privacy— preparing students to advise future employers and clients on the complex legal, ethical and regulatory challenges they present. "By adding these concentrations, the School of Law is responding to strong student interest and the changing needs of the legal profession," said Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Ben Carpenter. "The programs offer students the opportunity to build specialized knowledge and practical skills in fields that are shaping the future."
