The Institute to Transform Child Protection is thrilled to announce a new certificate for J.D. students.
The Child Welfare Certificate allows student to specialize in an important and developing area of law. Through this certificate students will have an opportunity to focus on child welfare issues, courtroom advocacy, trauma- informed practices, and secondary trauma in the legal system.
Courses are taught by Mitchell Hamline faculty and practicing attorneys in multiple areas. This allows students to explore child welfare from a variety of perspectives or to focus on a specific area of interest. The Child Welfare Certificate is comprised of 18 credits. All of these credits count toward your J.D. degree. Many concurrently satisfy other J.D. requirements.
