The Law Forum academic certificate program is open to all UCI students who meet the program prerequisites, including a membership interview.

  • Please see the options for the three required and two elective courses necessary to earn the final certificate of program completion.

  • There is no need to complete these additional courses before joining the program; students are encouraged to apply as soon as the prerequisites have been satisfied.

The Law Forum also represents a community of UCI students with a particularly strong interest in law and its role in society.  Law Forum members find a great deal in common during their time in the program.  In addition to completing the academic certificate requirements, many members take advantage of the following periodic opportunities:

  • Guest Debater or Guest Judge   Students who have completed the "Advocacy" course often enjoy participating as a member of a special exhibition debate team or visiting subsequent Advocacy classes as a guest judge.

  • Paper Presenter   Law Forum members are encouraged to present their research papers to their peers in a small group setting.  This provides valuable public speaking experience as well as useful insight for possible paper revision.

  • Journal Editor   Law Forum members are also encouraged to serve as editorial interns or lead editors, under the supervision of the Law Forum Alumni Association, while preparing articles for publication in the Law Forum Alumni Journal.  This provides exposure to cutting edge legal issues and professional communication techniques, as well as individual responsibility, effective leadership and teamwork.

In addition, the Law Forum Alumni Association sponsors a variety of events on and off campus throughout the year, enabling current and former Law Forum members to keep in contact both during and after their time at UCI.
