The law school also requires that each student take a "Perspective" course. The perspective course requirement is intended to ensure students encounter an "outsider" perspective on the American legal system, whether that perspective comes from the past, from abroad, from other academic disciplines, or from critical perspectives within contemporary American society.

The Perspectives courses are: Jurisprudence; Comparative Law; European Union Law; International Law; Law & Economic Analysis; Law & Literature; Legal History; English Legal System; Law and the Oppressed; Women and the Law; Comparative Constitutional Law; and Race and the Law.
