Powerful programs and practical opportunities. The School of Law prepares you to tackle the real world through clinics, clerkships and hundreds of hands-on learning experiences.
You’ll have unique opportunities to make an impact on the community, the nation and the world. That’s in keeping with our conviction that the law can be a force for good in the world, when good people make it happen.
Good lawyering is about fighting hard – for justice, for your client, for what you believe in. That’s called advocacy, and at the School of Law you’ll learn to build your case and wage that fight skillfully, effectively and fairly.
It’s one thing to read casebooks. The more important thing is to make the law work for real people with real needs. You don’t have to wait until graduation to work with actual clients. Here, our extensive clinical program affords hands-on experiences.
Good writing, it’s said, is good thinking. Here at the School of Law, from day one you will get world-class legal training in the skills of legal analysis, research, and writing – the very essence of what practicing lawyers do every day.
