Learning by Doing: Real-World Experience
A distinguishing characteristic of life at Chicago-Kent is our emphasis not only on rigorous scholarship but on rigorous skills training and experiential learning in fields of law directly related to your career goals. Our location--in the heart of Chicago's vast legal marketplace--affords a breadth of networking and practice opportunities available only in the nation's three largest cities.
You'll study within walking distance of America's largest unified court system, major banks and financial markets, emerging and established national and international businesses, prominent public interest organizations, and law firms of all sizes and types--many with strong connections to Chicago-Kent through our faculty and alumni. Our own in-house law firm involves you start-to-finish in a wide variety of cases currently before the courts.
If you're thinking about a career in the public sector, the federal and state governments have a significant presence in Chicago. In the Illinois Attorney General's Office alone, Chicago-Kent students have recently worked in the crime victim services division, special litigation bureau, high-tech crimes bureau, and civil and criminal appeals divisions. You can select from a similar array of opportunities at the city and county levels as well.
