Extracurricular Opportunities
“I can’t emphasize enough the importance of participating in the many opportunities Cleveland-Marshall offers to broaden your legal experience. While substantive classes are critical to understanding legal foundations and concepts, just as important are practical experiences like clinical programs, judicial externships, and pro bono work. It’s through these activities that students apply and hone their skills and discover what the practice of law is really like.”

On Class Preparation
“Cleveland-Marshall’s legal writing program teaches students the kinds of writing expected of practicing lawyers. The faculty enthusiastically worked with me to develop focused, strategic, and compelling written advocacy. An outstanding written product is what your clients deserve, your colleagues and opposing counsel respect, and judges expect.”
