About UNH Law School

The University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce School of Law offers LLM, master’s degree, and diploma certificate programs for lawyers and non-lawyers in three specialized areas of the law: Intellectual Property, Commerce and Technology, and International Criminal Law and Justice.

Launched in the fall of 2010, UNH Law’s Franklin Pierce Center for Intellectual Property is home to one of the nation’s most highly regarded IP programs, a hallmark of the school since it was founded in 1973. UNH Law has received national recognition for the study of IP law for 25 consecutive years. In building relationships with leaders in industry and government around the world, the Franklin Pierce Center for IP has established itself as a global hub with rich and varied resources—including the only academic IP library in the United States. The Franklin Pierce Center for IP faculty, students, researchers, and partners work at the intersection of law, business, and technology, and students graduate with the skills and knowledge necessary to impact innovation in the ever-evolving world of IP.

The center offers one of the most extensive selections of intellectual property courses in the country, exposing students to a wide range of cutting-edge IP issues. Ahead of the curve in integrating intellectual property studies into legal education, the center focuses on offering students practical experience that will prepare them to succeed immediately in legal careers anywhere in the world—and, with a global network of successful alumni connected to the Franklin Pierce tradition, students have access to IP professionals in more than 80 countries.

Practice-based learning is foundational to a UNH Law education. We have a faculty of top IP professors with extensive practice experience who prepare students for real-world situations.
