University of Arizona – James E. Rogers College of Law
The University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law takes pride in its history, academic reputation, and emphasis on interdisciplinary perspectives, public service, and collegiality. The curriculum includes doctrinal, theoretical and clinical instruction. The College of Law offers the following four in-house legal clinics in addition to several external clinics in subject areas such as Child Advocacy, Domestic Violence, Immigration, Tribal Law, and Criminal Prosecution. The clinics allows students to work directly with actual clients, on actual cases, under the supervision of faculty members.
Students may also participate in several joint degree programs offered by the College of Law. Students may earn their JD while earning an advanced degree in areas such as American Indian studies, business, economics, Latin American studies, philosophy, psychology, public administration, women’s studies, and Latin American studies. Additionally, the College of Law offers two specialized post-JD legal degree programs in the areas of international trade and indigenous peoples law and policy. These two post-JD programs provide students the opportunity to choose either to study the impact of the economic and legal changes on indigenous peoples at a global level or to study the multiple legal implications of free trade expansion between the United States and Latin America. Beyond the classroom, the College Community Service Board works closely with local organizations to connect students with public service opportunities.
