At the Columbus School of Law of The Catholic University of America we realize that lawyers have an ever changing responsibility to society. Lawyers find themselves continually challenged to create new laws and legal institutions, to correct the imbalance between the rich and the poor, to protect individual freedom from encroachment by the state, and to preserve human dignity in an increasingly crowded society.

The law school's curriculum is designed to provide law students with the analytic skills and basic knowledge to become effective lawyers in this changing legal environment.

The acquisition of legal skills is a process that occurs during the course of a lifetime. The educational experience at the Columbus School of Law is designed to provide the student with the intellectual foundation upon which this lifelong process can be built. There is no single formula for constructing that foundation. The wide variety of courses and types of educational experiences offered by the law school provide the student the opportunity to choose the curriculum that is most compatible with the student's intellectual interests and career objectives.

At the Columbus School of Law, the academic programs are a comprehensive legal education weaving a strong theoretical foundation with sophisticated practical training. This distinctive educational approach furnishes students with the mental tools to face the demands of the 21st century.
