You'll be just minutes away from unlimited opportunities for part time work, clerkships, and hands-on externships. Unlike students at more isolated law schools, you'll gain in-depth, practical experience in the legal field long before you graduate.

From the moment I talked to the Dean of Admissions, to the hand written note I received expressing why MC Law wanted me to be a part of its mission, I was sold. Never in a million years did I think I could be a part of such an amazing law school family.”
