Nation's Capital

DC Law Thumb

There is no better place to attend law school than Washington, D.C., where our nation’s laws are made, executed, and interpreted. Our location near the heart of the city offers easy access to opportunities in law firms, government, corporations, and nonprofits that often lead to professional connections and postgraduate employment.

Practice Ready

Practice Ready Thumb

Today’s employers prefer not to provide on-the-job training. Our students master critical skills while in law school, learning by doing. Our experiential programs, clinics and externships rate among the best in the country. Courses emphasize practical skills like trial advocacy, negotiating, and legal writing. You graduate ready to practice.

The CUA Law Advantage

Advantage Thumb

 

Your personalized legal education starts right away. Nearly 70% of our courses have fewer than 20 students. You will get to know your professors, who along with our alumni will assist you with career advice and finding job opportunities. These vital connections pay off. The percentage of our graduates employed in government service is among the highest of all law schools.
