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.

Business and Transactional Law Center

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.

Children and Family Law Center

The Children and Family Law Center prepare lawyers who can address the vexing problems that arise in the fields of children and family law and is a collaborative effort involving Washburn Law students, alumni, and faculty.

Center for Excellence in Advocacy

The Center for Excellence in Advocacy prepares law students and lawyers to be effective advocates by training them in the persuasive and skilled use of advocacy techniques.

Center for Law and Government

The Center for Law and Government offers law students unique and varied opportunities to learn about lawmaking, judicial decision-making, administrative law, and the regulatory process.
