In 2002, Washburn Law built upon it's tradition of excellence in teaching with the establishment of four Centers for Excellence. The Centers enhance the educational experience by providing opportunities for students to interact with exceptional legal practitioners through programming, lectures, and discussion.

The Business and Transactional Law Center provides students with many innovative opportunities to expand their knowledge on business law subjects while developing the essential skills of the transactional lawyer. Center programming is designed to assist students in effectively applying their legal knowledge to accomplish specific client goals.
