Technology and Entrepreneurship Law Certificate


The Technology and Entrepreneurship Certificate program provides a rigorous course sequence for Juris Doctor (JD) and Master of Laws (LLM) students who have an interest in legal practice areas involving the intersection of technology and business law issues. The program features a combination of traditional doctrinal courses taught principally in a lecture format, skills-based courses taught principally in a workshop format, and experiential field-based opportunities outside the classroom. The program emphasizes the importance of acquiring strong legal skills and business awareness to prepare for legal practice.

The certificate is also offered to online Master of Studies in Law (MSL) students, online Master of Laws (LLM) students and for online students who want to enroll on a stand-alone basis.

JD students must complete at least 21 units; LLM, MSL and students pursuing the certificate on a stand-alone basis must complete at least 12 units.
