JURIS DOCTOR BASE MENU REQUIREMENT

After the first year of study, the curriculum consists of a Base Menu and Advanced Electives. The Base Menu reflects the faculty’s belief that although students may begin their professional lives in very varied settings, there are fundamentals to the law as a whole that cannot be ignored.

Students are required to take one course within three out of the five following subject categories:

*Administrative/Regulatory Law
        **Administrative Law
        **Antitrust Law
        **Securities Regulation
        **Environmental Law
        **Labor Law
        **Banking Law
        **Technology/Energy/Environmnent (not offered 2008-2009)

*Commercial Law
        **Commercial Law Survey
        **Sales and Leases
        **Commercial Paper/Payment Systems
        **Secured Transactions

*Business Associations & Agency
        **Agency & Partnership
        **Corporations

*Evidence
*Basic Income Tax

* All students must enroll in 3 out of 5 of the Base Menu Subject Areas
** Any one or any number of these courses will satisfy the Base Menu Requirement for that subject only.
