CLEVELAND-MARSHALL COLLEGE OF LAW

Students are exposed to the law in action from the very first week in law school, and every student is guaranteed to receive practical experience before graduating through an engaged learning requirement.

The nearly 120-year-old institution was the first law school in Ohio to admit women and it was one of the first law schools in Ohio to admit minorities. The school has a longstanding tradition of opportunity, and is consistently recognized for its part-time program.

At Cleveland-Marshall, the concentration is on the student. Students choose their own path, and are encouraged to create a mix of classes and engagement experiences to prepare for work in the litigation, administrative or advocacy career of their choosing. More than 30 student organizations, including three wellrespected student journals, expand on classroom studies and develop students further in specialized areas.

Cleveland-Marshall boasted a 93 percent bar passage rate on the July 2013 Ohio Bar exam, second only to The Ohio State University among Ohio’s nine law schools. Driving this achievement is Cleveland-Marshall’s strategic bar preparation program, including an innovative partnership with a bar prep provider, Barbri, that gives all Cleveland-Marshall students an edge toward success.
