THE PROGRAM
Build a strong foundation in theory. Gain real-world experience. THEN FINE-TUNE YOUR FUTURE. At the University of Kansas School of Law, you’ll discover the tools you need to become an outstanding member of the legal profession, well-educated in the law and committed to professional achievement and public service. You will start with a powerful foundation in the general principles of law and its practice in a changing legal environment. Then we help you tailor your education to fit your interests — in international law, trial advocacy, environmental law, tribal law or a dozen other areas. Develop your expertise in the classroom and in the field — through theory and practice. In class, you will be involved in a dialogue built upon your examination of cases and statutes. You will perfect legal analysis and writing, and develop professional skills. Then you can apply your know-how to real cases in any of KU Law’s 12 clinical and externship programs. But your first year comes first. What can you expect?
