Dean's Message


A legal education is a professional education. You will use the substantive legal knowledge and practice skills you develop in law school every day of your life as a lawyer and community leader. Your law school experience is the opportunity of your lifetime to build the foundation of your future successful legal career. Accordingly, you must choose the environment in which you personally will learn the most and grow the most.
