Harris Keenan & Goldfarb Advocacy Certificate

The New York Law School's Harris Keenan & Goldfarb Advocacy Program will offer students interested in litigation the opportunity to earn an Advocacy Certificate in Civil, Criminal, or Appellate Advocacy.

This program will offer students guidance about how to combine skills courses with writing and doctrinal courses to develop proficiency in an area of litigation.

Students interested in litigation can earn an Advocacy Certificate by taking a combination of procedure, writing, and skills courses. The Harris Keenan & Goldfarb Advocacy Program has three tracks: civil, criminal, and appellate. Each track culminates in a clinical, field placement, externship, or co-curricular experience in which students put the skills they’ve learned into practice.

Students interested in applying to the Program can find more information in Student Resources on the NYLS Portal.
