“ONU Law is a career-oriented program. A strong emphasis is placed on getting you to think about how your decisions, even in your first year of law school, will impact your career.Grace Williams, law student
ONU Law is a trailblazer in experiential learning. Our small size, rural location and vast network gives us an edge. We not only guarantee 100% placement in clinics and externships, we work with you one-on-one to identify, shape and land meaningful experiences. Upon graduation, you’ll be armed with the practical skills and confidence you need to hit the ground running.
Take part in ONU Law’s study-abroad program, and you’ll enhance your study of U.S. law while gaining first-hand knowledge of your host country’s legal system and culture. You’ll develop your own international legal perspective while exploring potential options for practicing law outside the U.S. once you graduate. Plus, you’ll start to build a network of personal and professional contacts across the globe.
Without question, law school can be challenging. At ONU Law, we’re committed to reducing your stress and providing maximum support. Our Academic and Bar Success Program is a series of required courses to help you to excel in your classes, externships and on the bar exam. In addition, our unique Summer Starter Program gives an academic head start to those first-year law students who may need it. Our bar exam results showcase the success of our model of academic support.
