![]() ![]() Some students say it’s very easy if you want to work in another state upon graduation. Students also point out that for better or for worse, they are “bombarded with opportunities to meet with practicing attorneys.” Opinions concerning the portability of an ASU degree are decidedly split, though. Students here have “amazing access” to the Phoenix legal market and Career Services “will bend over back for you to help you make contacts in the job market.” A few students tell us that the administration is “only concerned with raising ASU’s ranking” but the overwhelming sentiment is that the top brass is “visionary” and “extremely responsive.” The law school staff as a whole is “totally” approachable and “wonderful to work with at every level” (though it’s a much different story when you are “forced to deal with the red tape of the general university”). “Although the material is sometimes as dry as the Arizona desert, the teachers do a great job keeping the class interesting.” “I could not have asked for better professors my first semester,” beams a 1L. Most professors are “very accessible and happy to help.” “They enjoy getting to know students outside of the classroom.” Inside the classroom, “professors use the Socratic Method mostly, but not in a scary way.” The focus is “more on teaching relevant materials than playing games with students.” ![]() The faculty at ASU is “a wide mix of both hardscrabble, old-school courtroom warriors, and young, innovative minds.” There are a lot of adjunct faculty members “who enjoy teaching and who bring real practical experience into the classroom” as well. There are “almost too many opportunities for externships” with judges, legislative offices, and administrative agencies, observes one awed student. Eleven clinics allow students “to employ lawyer skills instead of just talking about it or writing legal memos,” and virtually every student who wants to participate in a clinic can participate. Hands-on opportunities to “get real-world experience in nearly any legal field” are abundant. Another point of pride is the Law, Science, and Technology Center, which-not very surprisingly-concentrates on the intersection between law and science. Arizona State University, Sanda Day O’Connor College of LawĪcademics & Programs: The College of Law at Arizona State University is a smaller law school with smaller classes where “you get a lot of personal attention.” At the same time, “The range of courses is extensive.” The Indian Legal Program here is one of the finest of its kind in the country. ![]()
