Certificate in Criminal Law & Procedure

Rutgers Law School is pleased to offer students the opportunity to participate in a new Certificate Program in Criminal Law and Procedure. This program offers students with a particular interest in the field of criminal law the opportunity to pursue that interest in a structured framework, and to achieve special recognition for doing so.

The program is designed to ensure that students: (1) are exposed to a broad range of issues in criminal law and procedure, (2) have the experience of writing a supervised research paper, and (3) obtain some practical experience in the field. The program is intended to be sufficiently flexible to allow students to pursue a particular sub-interest in substantive criminal law or criminal procedure.

Two schools, each with distinctive strengths, have created one law school with extraordinary opportunities for learning experiences and career growth.

Rutgers Law School—with locations in Camden and Newark—offers a world-class faculty; a curriculum of exceptional breadth and depth, in theory, practice, and interdisciplinary studies; a geographic presence that spans one of the nation's 10 largest legal markets (New Jersey) while also offering immediate access to two of the five largest markets (New York City and Philadelphia); an alumni network with over 20,000 members; and a strong tradition of diversity and social impact.
