Course Clusters

The UGA law school faculty has designed a course cluster system to guide upper-level students toward a curriculum that may more effectively support their areas of special interest.

 

General Practice

In choosing courses within this area of concentration, note that the general practice area is more difficult to define than other areas because general practices may vary according to such factors as location and size of firm. Also bear in mind that this general area of concentration may overlap with other areas, e.g., litigation.
