No two Chicago-Kent students are alike but for their record of achievement and their drive to succeed. Each brings to law school a unique set of talents and interests.

That's why we offer an exceptionally broad curriculum and array of clinical offerings to tailor your legal education to your own professional goals. Your choices range from classical legal studies to specialized training in more than 15 areas of focus—and from Socratic lectures to more than 130 advanced courses and seminars. Here you can move easily from part-time day or evening enrollment to full-time studies and back again. Work with local clients in our own in-house law firm—or study abroad from Buenos Aires to Copenhagen.

Ours is a challenging and engaging culture—at once collaborative and entrepreneurial—geared to maximize the return on your investment in law school. Our faculty ranks among the most influential in the nation. Our low student-faculty ratio promotes day-to-day engagement with leading scholars and teachers dedicated to ensuring that you master the foundations of the law and the finer points of legal reasoning.

You’ll also learn the art of lawyering, through innovative skills training targeted to your career goals. Our three-year legal writing program offers advanced research courses in special-interest areas, while our rigorous trial advocacy program, 10 legal clinics, and wealth of externship opportunities provide first-hand experience to enhance your employment options.

We link you to an uncommon variety of practice opportunities through extensive connections to Chicago’s courts, banks, financial markets, emerging and established businesses, government agencies, public interest organizations, and law firms of all sizes and types.

When you leave us, you’ll think and write like a lawyer. You’ll be primed for a number of career paths. And you’ll belong to a global professional network that’s more than 12,000 strong.

So if you’re thinking about a life in the law, we invite you to learn about life at Chicago-Kent. We consistently rank among Chicago’s top three law schools. This is a place where rigorous academics, superior skills training and close interactions with faculty produce a distinctive, personalized approach to your professional education.
