Our goal is to provide students with a quality education so they are prepared to practice law, promote democracy by upholding the rule of law and judicial independence, pursue justice, serve the public, and enhance the legal profession. Our innovative curriculum combines traditional core courses with a nationally recognized skills-training program in order to develop our students into practice-ready lawyers.
