Certificado em Direito Penal

The certificate aims to focus on criminal law during law school to prepare themselves for the practice of criminal law or policy. The program will require students to develop litigation skills through at least one criminal law clinic and skills courses while also providing a strong framework in the fundamentals of criminal law and procedure through coursework.

This certificate seeks to make its graduates far more prepared to step into criminal law practice, whether at public agencies such as prosecution or public defender offices or firms, or even in solo practice. The program will seek, through minimum requirements, to ensure qualified candidates graduate ready for practice in criminal law. It will help non-law students provide a strong foundation for policy work or other criminal justice fields.

The University of Arkansas School of Law prepares students for success through a challenging curriculum taught by nationally recognized faculty, unique service opportunities, and a close-knit community that puts students first.

It is among the top 48 public law schools, according to U.S. News and World Report.
