Training
The Center for Conflict, Law and the Media oversees a broad array of new
curricular programs designed to teach journalists about the law and the legal system,
as well as provide opportunities for law students to better understand the media. This
kind of interdisciplinary learning will deepen the sophistication of tomorrow's journalists
as they realize the impact of their journalism on social and political conflicts.
We offer four opportunities to earn law and graduate journalism
degrees at the same time, generally saving students money and time while
significantly enhancing their employment opportunities and
competitiveness:
JD-MA,
JD-PhD,
LLM-MA,
LLM-PhD.
