    What is public law?
    Public law is the field of law that governs the legal responsibilies and duties between citizens and the government. It protects the rights of citizens by ensuring that those who govern do so responsibly and fairly. Public law also works to prevent those in power from abusing their authority.

    What can I do with a degree in public law?
    Common jobs for public law graduates include working as a lawyer, a paralegal, or a legal assistant. Other common jobs include working in the government or in a non-profit organization. There are also many opportunities to teach public law at the college level.

    What will I study during my public law degree?
    You will learn about many different types of law while getting your public law degree. These topics include constitutional law, civil rights and liberties, criminal procedure, administrative law, and international law. You can also choose to study other areas of law that interest you such as business law, environmental law, or family law.

    Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject.
