Qualified first year law students can be admitted to IP LARC, DePaul's unique
IP legal writing section,
which places specific emphasis on current topics in intellectual
property law as part of the first-year Legal Analysis, Research &
Communication (LARC) curriculum. Each IP LARC section is taught by an
attorney with professional intellectual property experience. Students in
the IP LARC program are taught the research and writing skills
traditionally taught within the first year of law school, such as
memorandum and brief writing skills, within the context of intellectual
property law. A major advantage of the IP LARC program is that it
introduces students to a variety of intellectual property issues,
principles and skills in their first year of law school, setting them
apart from students at schools with traditional law school legal writing
curricula, which do not offer any training in intellectual property law
in the first year of law school.
