Academic Planning

In addition to the courses required for graduation, the Law School offers numerous courses that students may elect to take in order to satisfy the credit requirements for graduation.  Although you are encouraged to take a variety of courses during your law school career, many students have a focus on one or more identifiable subject areas and want to take courses that may help them strengthen their basis of knowledge and skills in these areas.  Accordingly, the faculty prepared a series of subject matter guides that identify those courses with the most direct relevance to specific practice fields.  You are invited to use these guides as a starting point in planning your course of study for your second and third years at Villanova Law School.  You should not feel as though you must take every course listed on a particular guide in order to be prepared to practice in that area.  These course guides are not intended as requirements but rather suggestions.  They are intended merely to bring certain courses to your attention and aid you in understanding the types of information and skills attorneys in various practice areas may wish to have.
