A COMPREHENSIVE CURRICULUM
Chicago-Kent College of Law recognizes that legal writing, analysis
and research are the most critical lawyering skills taught in the
law school curriculum and that these skills cannot be taught in a
single year. Consequently the school requires that its students take
five semesters of legal writing classes before they graduate. Chicago-Kent
was the first law school in the United States with a three-year writing
requirement.
Chicago-Kent's curriculum has served as a model for numerous other
institutions. The emphasis on legal research and writing reflects
Chicago-Kent's commitment to training its graduates to be leaders
in the profession by giving them the skills they will need to analyze
and solve complex problems. The Program recognizes that Chicago-Kent
graduates will serve a wide variety of clients, in a wide variety
of roles, all of which require effective analytical, research, and
communications skills.
