Practice Areas

The Office of Career Planning has compiled a list of legal practice areas to assist students in tailoring their academic course schedules to individual interests. The links on this site include lists of resources, programs, and student organizations pertinent to each practice area.

For funding opportunities, go to Fellowships and Funding. This includes information on UMLS, University of Michigan, and outside funding sources. Also read Chapter 5: Funding in Making a Difference: A Law Student's Guide to Public Service: Volume I.

The practice area pages contain links to external websites that may change frequently. We update them as often as possible and appreciate notification of broken links. We will add new content as new and useful websites are located.
