- Title
"Majors" in Law? A Dissenting View.
- Authors
Olivas, Michael A.
- Abstract
The author offers his views on a suggestion that law school itself should become more specialized, offer J.D. majors, or provide various certification programs that would carve out specialties. He does not believe that increasing specialization, particularly the rise of J.D. majors and specialty certification programs, is a good or necessary development. He thinks that such majors are poorly organized and shallow, and some of the motivation behind the push for specialization is unconnected to actual pedagogical goals.
