The rumors are true: a criminal justice concentration is in the works, and very close to becoming available, at UMN Law School (our home institution). It needs the approval of the Board of Regents, but we can likely expect that to happen in the Fall.
Professor Frase shared some details about the concentration. It currently requires Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, a Criminal Sentencing course, and 6 more elective credits. Elective credits range across the school's large offering of criminal law courses and seminars.
If you're interested in the Criminal Justice Concentration, Professor Frase recommends that you take Criminal Procedure in the the Fall, if you haven't already. Professor Frase and Professor Feld are both offering the course in the Fall, and it will be offered again in the Spring.
On a related note, there will also be a Criminal Law focused version of the required Professional Responsibility class, slated to run this Spring.
