The source highlights concentration options such as dispute resolution, compliance, and intellectual property, as well as generalist paths that can extend JD-level legal training. These programs are presented as useful for internationally trained lawyers seeking faster transition to U.S. practice and for U.S. professionals working outside their home country.
