A Long Tradition of Excellence—and an Exciting Future
Founded in 1892, Case Western Reserve University School of Law was one of the first schools accredited by the American Bar Association and was a charter member of the American Association of Law Schools and the Order of the Coif. Case Western Reserve is a member of the prestigious and exclusive Association of American Universities.
