Introduction

The Certificate in Public Law is for students interested in careers in the public policy arena. Taking advantage of SULC’s location in Louisiana’s capital city, the program offers specialized courses and externships, and opportunities for interdisciplinary study designed to expose students to the policy-making process. The certificate program trains students in the skills important to lawyers who participate in the development of law and policy in legislative, administrative, and judicial settings. Students must complete all requirements for the award of the JD degree and must additionally earn a total of 15 credit hours in public law-designated courses, obtaining an overall GPA of 3.0 in said courses. The public law-designated courses consist of: Administrative Law (required for the certificate), Louisiana Administrative Law, Consumer Law, Legislative Drafting I, Legislative Drafting II, Local Government Law, Clinical Legal Education/Externship I and II (subject to approval and both required for the certificate), and Education Law.
