Courses in the general-practice area help prepare students to represent individuals and small businesses, on a variety of legal matters, in solo practice or in small to medium sized law firms.

All focused course work at UST Law consists of foundational courses that introduce the subject area, upper-level theory and practice courses that provide an academic background necessary for success, and experiential learning courses that provide students with the chance to apply their learning in simulations or outside the classroom. 

The Supervised Research and Writing course (independent study), the Mentor Externship program, and the public service requirements can also be used to support focused course work.
