Criminal Law & Innocence

Texas Tech University School of Law is one of the few law schools in the country to offer a Concentration in Criminal Law and Innocence. This innovative program is founded upon experiential learning, innovative coursework, and research on criminal justice reform issues as well as real cases in which the innocence of a convicted defendant is at issue. The concentration is designed for students interested in pursuing a career in criminal law, either as a prosecutor or a defense attorney.

Law and Science

The Law and Science concentration offers students an opportunity to focus on the intersection of newly arising legal and scientific issues. In addition to the general concentration, students can choose to specialize in emerging fields such as Biosecurity Law, Cybersecurity Law, Energy Law, Environmental Law, Intellectual Property Law, or Water Law. By developing this expertise, students are better prepared to take on the legal challenges and opportunities brought on by the increased role of science and the law.
