Create a THRIVING
Academic Enterprise

A well-built house is built on a firm foundation. At UC Law we take building your legal education seriously. During the first year our students spend time building a firm foundation. Working in small, collaborative groups, students master the basic history, theory and methodology of the law, while honing the analytical, writing, and presentation skills vital for a successful career. All of this is augmented by a deep understating of the moral and ethical principles that make our country's system of justice effective, relevant and necessary.

Once the foundation has been laid, students spend the next several years exploring a wide range of topics, courses and seminars. From criminal law to corporate law, from intellectual property law to litigation, students can sharpen their knowledge and skills, while concentrating their studies in an area of interest.

UC Law also offers joint degree and exchange programs, offering students more ways to create a unique academic experience. Students interested in working in their community, or becoming freedom fighters or human rights advocates can do so through the many clinics, centers and institutes UC Law offers. Numerous classes have clinical components, providing students with "real world" experiences as they learn about the law.  Famous centers and institutes, such as the Ohio Innocence Project or the Urban Morgan Institute for Human Rights, ensure that UC Law continues to break ground in the field of legal education.
