John Marshall's Center for Tax Law and Employee Benefits offers JD candidates degree specialization and employable distinction in the emerging field of elder law studies. The JD Certificate in Elder Law develops the necessary skill set to successfully advocate for the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population immediately upon passing the bar.

The Center also offers JD candidates, particularly those with interests in litigation or corporate law, the opportunity to concurrently earn a joint JD/LLM in Tax Law or a joint JD/LLM in Employee Benefits by applying the first 10 credit hours satisfactorily completed in the LLM program to the 90 credit hours required to complete their JD.
