A+ ranking for IP program!

Our A+ ranking for the fifth consecutive year reflects the strength of our IP curriculum. This includes our courses, our patent and trademark clinics, our Review of IP Law, our IP Law Society, and other opportunities to equip our students to compete for nationally competitive jobs in IP and related areas. Behind the scenes, it is the continued dedication and expertise of our full-time and adjunct faculty, the caliber and passion of our students, and the unwavering support of the law school's administration, staff, and alumni that make this achievement possible year after year.
