#5 reason for ATTENDING Capital University Law School

5. Faculty:

 

Our student-to-faculty ratio is low, so personal attention and interaction is incredibly high.

Our faculty members breathe life into legal theory– and our adjuncts bring real-world experience into the classroom.

 

“The difference between good teachers and great teachers: good teachers make the best of a pupil's means; great teachers foresee a pupil's ends.”

 

            My decision to attend CULS was confirmed after experiencing the Faculty.  I had concerns coming into law school with a BFA in theatre. Such as, “what if my study skills aren’t sufficient?” or “will my grades be affected because I have been out of school professionally acting for three years?” Moreover, I feared that my training and my passion for the arts would be completely lost and useless.

            My professors, specifically my legal research and writing professor, taught me that creativity is alive and applicable in this “purely academic field.” Moreover, the professors are active in recognizing the weaknesses of individual students and will offer numerous ways to remedy those problems.  These remedies are not only concrete, but also effective and achievable.  Moreover, CULS has an “open door policy” so if you ever need individual help, guidance with a concentration, or just need to talk; the professors are here for YOU!

            Most importantly, the faculty at CULS will help you pass the bar! In fact, check out the #1 reason for ATTENDING CULS!

Life as an 1L:a new meaning for 'tired'

Life as an 1L: a new meaning for ‘tired’

“Ring, ring, ring,” your cell phone buzzes in the distance. “Beep,” is heard indicating a message. You pick up your phone; dial the necessary numbers to get to your mailbox…

“Hi, Julie? This is your bed calling. Will you be returning anytime soon?”

            I’ve never been one to complain about being busy, in fact, I thrive when I’m busy. However, as summer beckons in the distance and exams loom in the horizon, I find myself entirely too tired…to come up with a witty way to finish this sentence.

            This makes me sigh with angst because in the back of my head, I hear my mother muttering “Nothing worthwhile is ever easy.”  And let’s all be ‘real’, everyone warns of the all-consuming law school study schedule and everyone accurately surmises that law school is hard. So, and I hate to say, I have to agree with my mother.

            Yes, I am exhausted, but the fact of the matter is that when I finish this Motion for Summary Judgment, complete my Torts outline, and ace that civil procedure quiz, I know I am on my way to a truly worthwhile career.  Not to mention, one that charges, at a minimum, $200.00 an hour!

1. Bar passage:

In the past five years,

Capital has had one of the highest bar passage rates in the state of Ohio

among those taking the exam for the first time.

Before I dive into this topic with detail, I wanted to bring your attention to this simple question that was posed to me on my first day at Capital U. Law School...

Q: "When the law school student with the lowest GPA passes the bar, what are they?"

Answer: "A lawyer."

 That answer seemed utterly prolific to me; in other words, I had a serious “light bulb” moment. After all, the important thing to your clients, and remember they are the ones who PAY you, is not whether you graduated in the top of your law school class, but whether or not you know and can apply the law. It is safe to say that if you pass the bar, you know and can apply the law.  So it makes perfect sense to conclude that your legal education must guarantee that you pass the bar; Capital does that! How about a statistic? 88.4% of CULS students pass the bar on their first try! Not only does Capital provide ‘Bar studies’ courses, but also provides an Office of Professional Development to guarantee that you utilize your education in the legal market! CULS offers students an exclusive database of hiring firms and positions and encourages students to apply as soon as the second semester of your 1L year! Moreover, the CULS staff works hard to ensure that every student is on the ‘right track’ to pass the bar! To conclude, the #1 reason TO ATTEND is “Capital has one of the highest bar passage rates in the state of Ohio.”
