Certificate Programs

• Intellectual Property
  The Intellectual Property Center offers a certificate in Intellectual Property Law to JD students. Students admitted to the certificate program fashion an individualized curriculum that includes five semesters of intellectual property training. The intellectual property faculty is committed to a full understanding of the convergences of intellectual property law, combining practice-directed material with public policy concerns, and a strong grounding in the philosophical arguments underlying the laws of patent, trademark and copyright.
• Tax Studies
  Students in the certificate program for Tax Law participate in a supervised writing project, externship, or clinic in the area of tax law. They may begin their tax studies in Federal Income Taxation in their first year, and continue the study of taxation in a variety of courses during the last four semesters of law school.

  The certificate in Law & Public Policy requires course work at both the Law School and the Department of Public Policy (DPP) in West Hartford. To be eligible for this certificate, students must make formal application to, and be accepted in, the Law & Public Policy program.
