School of Law

Case Western Reserve University School of Law is able to provide an experiential legal education that garners national recognition, year after year, thanks to the generosity of our alumni and friends.

Our most recent graduating class had a 95% bar pass rate and 90% were employed within 10 months of graduation, going on to serve their communities around the country and across the globe. 

Your gift is an investment in the future attorneys, judges and civic leaders studying in our halls.

Your support of the School of Law enables us to:

• maintain a world-class faculty and attract the brightest students;
• offer labs, externships and other experiential learning opportunities, including the Milton and Charlotte Kramer Law Clinic;
• provide a combination of need-based financial aid and merit scholarships to nearly half our student body;
• keep our comprehensive collections at the Judge Ben C. Green Law Library up to date, including online resources and the latest scholarly journals; and
• enhance the student experience by inviting distinguished scholars and lecturers to campus.
