Faculty Information
Students Say
Impressively, Capital’s faculty is comprised of “scholars who are nationally known in the areas of family, children’s, environmental, and regulatory law.” Further, a number of professors have “[practical] experience in litigation, negotiation, and public service.” Accessibility is another common attribute of Capital’s faculty and, typically, they are “more than willing to meet with students out of class when necessary.” Students here also find that their professors are “motivated and engaged in the material.” Their “love for teaching is infectious” and they continually find ways to be “creative” in the classroom. And, as one sage third-year explains, “the dedicated professors make all the difference.”
Students certainly have a difference of opinion when it comes to Capital’s administration. As one third-year laments, “The registar’s office needs a lot of help.” He further elaborates, “[A]lmost every semester I attended Capital, it cancelled classes after I registered. During my fall semester of last year four out of five of the classes I wanted to take got cancelled. This semester, a class got cancelled abruptly, with over eighty students registered, because of ‘unforeseen changes in the professor’s personal life.’” However, a second-year argues that the “administration is generally quick to address problems,” and a first-year asserts that they “make great efforts to accommodate the needs of [their] students.”

Outside the classroom, students benefit from CULS’s prime Columbus location. Indeed, the program’s great reputation and proximity to the capital virtually guarantees “amazing externship opportunities.” A third-year explains, “Varieties of positions are available at the Supreme Court of Ohio, the Legislature, Executive branch, numerous agencies, or lobbying organizations.” And, given the “current evolving legal market, public service work continues to be one of the more stable practice areas. [Attending] CULS provides outstanding preparation and networking opportunities.” Beyond the legal world, students can take advantage of all the great entertainment options Columbus offers—from the zoo and aquarium to NHL hockey, the symphony, opera, and numerous restaurants and cafes.
