Key Summary

About: The J.D. Concentration in Business Law Honors aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of business law, including regulatory and compliance aspects. The program incorporates practical experiences, coursework, and academic rigor to prepare graduates for a specialized legal career in business law.

Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue various career paths, including roles as corporate attorneys, compliance officers, contract managers, or legal advisors in corporations and law firms. They may also advance into positions within regulatory agencies or work in academia as educators in business law.

Students enrolled in the Business Law Honors Concentration will receive instruction and training in those subject areas fundamental to the practice of transactional attorneys and/or corporate litigators, in addition to instruction in specialized, related subject areas of their choosing.

Professors Miriam Lyman, J. Scott Colesanti, and Ronald J. Colombo serve as faculty concentration advisors for this Concentration. Concentration faculty advisors may modify the Concentration requirements in exceptional circumstances upon notice to the Dean.

Guidance from a student’s concentration faculty advisor is an important element of successful completion of the Concentration. A concentration faculty advisor must approve a student’s enrollment in the Concentration. Students should meet with their advisor as soon as they find themselves interested in the Concentration, but in no event later than the course selection deadline for their fourth semester of study (or fifth semester of study for part-time students). An advisor may permit a student to enroll in the Concentration at a later date, but only after determining that the student can realistically meet the requirements of the Concentration prior to graduation.
