Discover your path.

Discerning and selecting the area of law you want to practice is an important and personal journey. As you consider law school, it is okay if you don't know which exact area is in your future. At Gonzaga Law, you are invited to explore your opportunities, discover your strengths, and expose where your passions lie. Our dynamic education model will blend your coursework; advising and conversation with faculty and staff; and experiential learning to help you find the area that is right for you. We will not prescribe a specific track to create your future, we will collaborate and grow with you as you choose.

As an established J.D. program, our graduates work in almost every area of law you can find in locations that span the nation and the world. Though not fully comprehensive, below are some of our most popular areas of focus among our current students. If you do not see an area of interest there or are worried that you may not be served here, please reach out to the admissions office.
