Center for Elder Justice
The Center For Elder Justice was established to meet the increasing need for legal education and research in the field of law and aging. The Center provides legal education to law students, attorneys and judges in the field of elder and special needs law and produces scholarly research and writing on issues impacting older adults and those who have special needs.
Students who wish to focus their studies on elder law can apply for acceptance into the concentration in Elder Law. Attorneys who wish to gain knowledge about the practice of elder law can apply for admission to the LLM in Elder Law program.
Applications due December 1 (Spring entry) and August 1 (Fall entry).
