The
Baylor Law School faculty has developed the curriculum to allow the school
to train competent professionals equipped to begin practicing law. The
school fulfills its objectives by requiring students to complete a broad
course of study, with many of the
courses completed in a prescribed
sequence. Requiring students to complete this rigorous
course of study is the best method to ensure that Baylor graduates not only
know basic legal doctrine, but also possess core lawyering skills and have
experience using this knowledge and skill to perform a range of lawyering
tasks.
The field of law has become very diversified, and law schools must strive to meet the demands of students with a wide range of professional interests. Baylor law school meets these demands by offering six areas of concentration, which students complete by taking a group of elective and required courses. Students seeking greater diversity may enter the joint degree program, which is administered with other schools on the Baylor University campus.
