COLUMBIA LAW — For January Term 2023, Columbia Law School doubled the number of one-week, one-credit electives for upper-year and LL.M. students. “This year, we focused on adding new courses in law and technology, which is a rapidly developing field,” says Matthew C. Waxman, Liviu Librescu Professor of Law, who oversaw the J-Term curriculum. Launched in 2018, J-Term is designed for pedagogical innovation—a way for students to learn differently and professors to teach differently. J-Term classes are taught both by full-time faculty and lecturers in law who are often distinguished alumni or practitioners.
