The following are the basic courses that a student should expect to study during the first year of law school. This program provides students with a general overview of these courses. 

Civil Procedure

This course introduces law students to the basic lawyer's practice of civil litigation. Civil Procedure examines the fundamentals of how the litigation system works. The basic elements include: parties, pleadings, discovery, trials, judgments, and many other elements of lawsuits. The course also focuses on the general goals of dispute-resolution, and demonstrates the rules under which the system serves the goals of justice.

Contracts

The basic Contracts course is generally concerned with the formation, implementation and enforcement of agreements. It explores the process of bargaining, breach, remedies available for breach, and many other issues. The types of contracts at issue may include those for the sale of goods, the sale of land, employment, construction, or for other purposes.

Criminal Law

Criminal Law courses focus upon the culpability for illegal acts. In general, such courses include discussions regarding criminal law enforcement in relation to society at large. The power of the Constitution over the police in gathering evidence, and the method of adjudicating criminal cases, are also key components of the courses. In addition, some studies include criminal law in the context of globalization, including criminal law in the age of terrorism.

Property Law

Property Law courses are surveys of the means by which property and property interests are enabled and protected. Such courses generally include the study of law regarding land, personal property, and, to some degree, intellectual property. There are also discussions regarding present and future interests. Other areas may include: landlord and tenant matters; joint ownership of property; bailment; easements; land use; water rights; nuisances; gifts; conveyances of land; and, a wide range of other matters pertaining to tangible and intangible property. 

Torts Law

Torts Law is the study of the operation of law when harm has been done. There are various types of civil wrongs, and failure to perform public duty, encompassed by Tort Law. Generally, torts arise from encounters among persons resulting in injury for which redress is sought.
