Capital University Law School traces its origin to 1903, when the YMCAsupported the founding of the Columbus Law School, with its distinctive commitment to provide working class people with the opportunity to join the legal profession. The American Bar Association accredited the school, then called FranklinLaw School, in 1954. The Law School became affiliated with CapitalUniversity in 1966. In 1983, Capital University LawSchool became a member of the Association of American Law Schools.

Today CapitalUniversity LawSchool is a comprehensive educational institution, offering a J.D. degree, a joint J.D. Master of Business Administration, Master in Science in Nursing, Master of Theology, or Master of Sports Administration/Facility Management degree, as well as an LL.M. in Tax, Business, or Business and Tax. In addition the Law School offers a Master of Taxation for Accountants and a Paralegal Certification program. The Law School is housed in a state of the art technologically sophisticated building in the heart of Columbus, Ohioâ??s downtown business, government, and law center, blocks away from the state capital, federal and local courts, and the regionâ??s major law firms.

Capitalâ??s vibrant J.D. and LL.M programs are offered in full-time, part-time day or part-time evening options. Our Juris Doctor program strongly emphasizes basic lawyering skills - legal research, writing, dispute resolution, and analytical skills - skills that can be applied to a variety of legal careers. Our curriculum encompasses more than 120 elective courses, running the gamut of business and commercial law, property, criminal law and procedure, public law, international law, litigation, and taxation. Our concentrations in dispute resolution, environmental law, governmental affairs, labor and employment, publicly-held companies, small business entities, and children and family assist students to focus in an area of the law and expand their knowledge for the legal and business world.

Complimenting a studentâ??s classroom experience are opportunities for involvement in our National Center for Adoption Law & Policy, the only entity of its kind in the nation studying and advising governmental and nonprofit agencies on issues of adoption and child welfare; the TobaccoPublic PolicyCenter; or the Center for Dispute Resolution. In addition, students gain real world experience in our clinics, externship programs, law review, and moot court teams. Students have 24 hour access to our comprehensive law library, with a full complement of librarians, who hold J.D. and library science degrees, wireless internet access anywhere in our building, as well as, access to WESTLAW and LEXIS.

Part of a long-standing tradition in excellence is Capitalâ??s high-caliber faculty. First and foremost, our faculty members are teachers, devoted to the education of our students, and they are masters at integrating theory and practice. Many of our faculty are nationally-recognized experts in their fields, and have published books and articles in all of the leading law journals on topics such as constitutional litigation, contracts, election law, environmental law, remedies, negotiations, marriage and same-sex unions, and African-American males and the law. Capitalâ??s caring and committed faculty and administration support our students through their legal education and beyond. From the admission office to the career planning office, we work with our students as individuals to maximize their potential. We recognize the individual qualities and abilities that set our students apart from others. The Career Services Office offers career counseling, career education, and workshops on resume writing, interviewing, and job search strategies. This office provides information on employers and employer contact through the campus interview program.

Capital UniversityLaw School is particularly proud of the accomplishments of its graduates. Presidents of the Ohio State and Columbus Bar Associations, members of Congress and several state legislators, federal and state judges, partners in all of the major law firms in central Ohio and increasingly in all of the major cities around the country, leaders in business, finance, and real estate development, are numbered among the 6,000 Capital Law graduates throughout the country.
