The Charleston School of Law does not offer specializations. However, several upper-level course tracks and specialization designations are available to students after completing their general requirements. Students with a particular interest in one of these practice areas are encouraged to select a number of elective and skills courses listed in the corresponding course track. Students interested in another practice area are encouraged to meet with their adviser to discuss the elective courses they should take. In addition, students are encouraged to join a student organization, fulfill their pro bono requirements and complete an externship in their particular area of interest.
