Continuing Legal Education
In addition to its full academic program for law students, the Law School sponsors several courses and conferences each year for practicing lawyers. These provide opportunities for lawyers to enhance and update their knowledge of various legal topics. See the Law School calendar for upcoming events.
Each summer the Law School conducts intensive continuing legal education courses for several days. As an example, the Natural Resources Law Center presents courses for natural resources lawyers each year. These programs, and others in a variety of subjects, are taught by members of the faculty and by other nationally known lawyers and legal scholars. Scholarships are made available to several interested students.
In addition to courses for lawyers that are planned and conducted by the faculty, the Law School hosts or co-sponsors several other such courses. For example, the National Institute for Trial Advocacy is conducted at the Law School every summer, and for many years the Law School has cosponsored an environmental law course with the American Law Institute-American Bar Association Committee on Continuing Legal Education.
