Dating back to its vocational roots, the law degree has traditionally been a generalist’s credential. Even today, much of the educational focus in law school is on the acquisition of skills that can be applied in many—if not most—areas of the law. As such, lawyers typically specialize through the actual practice of law, rather than in the classroom.At Bowen, however, we seek to encourage focused study in students who have specific interests. Thus, our curriculum is structured in a manner that allows interested students to informally concentrate their study in one of the following areas:
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Business & Commercial
Civil Practice
Civil Rights
Criminal Law
Environmental Law
Family Law
General Practice
Government Practice
Government Regulation
Health Care
Intellectual Property
International Law
Labor & Employment
Litigation
Real Estate
SkillsTaxation
Collectively, the courses making up each concentration are intended to give interested students in-depth exposure and understanding of relevant issues. It is important to note that these concentrations are elective in nature, and students are not granted any formal designation for their focused course of study. You may view lists of courses making up each concentration, along with descriptions, at the following link: http://law.ualr.edu/academics/curriculum/course_concentrations.asp.
