Law is a broad field that encompasses the system of rules set by a society to regulate behavior along with the enforcement of those rules. Law students study all of a society’s rules, but usually specialize their law practice upon graduation into a particular area like civil or criminal law.

A certificate program can assist students who wish to further their knowledge through specialized training. These programs exist in a variety of disciplines, and they can be a good option for those who wish to complete a course of study within approximately one year.
