This approach, combined with a strong connection with the legal community, provides students with opportunities to develop important skills and to be prepared for the rigors of law practice upon graduation. In the past several years the CharlotteLaw student body has grown both in size and diversity. Our students come from over 46 states. Our faculty has grown to include both scholars and practitioners - all dedicated to the school’s mission to maintain a student centered focus that promotes professional preparedness and serves underrepresented communities. In August of 2008, the school moved to a new state-of-the-art facility in West Charlotte that focuses on the student experience by incorporating the latest in technology and an emphasis on a collaborative learning environment. CharlotteLaw received full accreditation from the American Bar Association on June 10, 2011. CharlotteLaw is committed to student success, insuring that its traditional curriculum includes skills training and thorough preparation for the bar examination. Students also have access to externships and internships in the area’s legal system, experiences that greatly enhance career growth and success. I welcome you to learn more about our school.

SUNY BUFFALO LAW SCHOOL
309 O'Brian Hall
Buffalo, NY 14260

Attending Representative(s):Ms. Lindsay Sutton
Associate Director of Admissions

Brief Program(s) Description:
Since its founding in 1887, SUNY Buffalo Law School – the State University of New York system's only law school – has established an excellent reputation and is widely regarded as a leader in legal education. Its cutting-edge curriculum provides both a strong theoretical foundation and the practical tools graduates need to succeed in a competitive marketplace, wherever they choose to practice. A special emphasis on interdisciplinary studies, public service, and opportunities for hands-on clinical education makes SUNY Buffalo Law unique among the nation's premier public law schools. Academic Programs: While the first-year program includes traditional legal courses in civil procedure, torts, contracts, property, criminal law, constitutional law, and research and writing, in the second and third years students can choose from a wide variety of seminars and curricular concentrations that allow for in-depth study. Moreover, each student has the opportunity to craft a custom-made curriculum, beyond the selected concentrations, drawing from numerous offerings to build a personalized sequence of courses and experiences. A wide range of interdisciplinary and dual degree programs permit Law students to combine their legal studies with masters or doctoral programs through the Baldy Center for Law and Social Policy, as well as the School of Management, the School of Social Work, the School of Public Health and Health Professions, the School of Architecture and Planning and the School of Pharmacy. SUNY Buffalo Law also offers post-professional LL.M. Programs. SUNY Buffalo Law's nationally renowned clinics offer diverse and sophisticated practice opportunities for second and third-year students. Known for its groundbreaking approaches to skills training and public interest practice, SUNY Buffalo Law's Clinical Education Program combines client service, impact litigation, and transactional planning. Faculty Scholarship: High-quality faculty members are another important ingredient in SUNY Buffalo Law's success. The school has a very low student-faculty ratio. Currently, more than 75 percent of its upper division courses are comprised of fewer than 40 students. Many of the faculty members are nationally prominent and hold advanced degrees in the social sciences and other disciplines, in addition to their law degrees. Their scholarship is published widely, and they bring a wealth of practice and policy experience to SUNY Buffalo Law.

The School of Law is one of the outstanding institutions in the United States, and the University of North Carolina is recognized as being among the nation’s leaders in graduate and professional education. Admitted students will also find themselves in some rare company. The bulk of the student body, of course, is bright young men and women from some of the nation's most outstanding undergraduate institutions, but youth is salted generously with experience and age. The current student body includes doctors, engineers, classically-trained musicians, teachers and many others with different backgrounds. The School of Law is also dedicated to helping minorities achieve satisfying careers in law. This diversity enriches the classroom experience for every student and we believe produces better lawyers. Throughout its history, Carolina's law faculty has been its foundation. Forty-seven full-time professors conduct classes in a range of specialties. Some courses are traditional, others are brought to the curriculum in response to the changing world in which tomorrow's lawyers will function. Many of our faculty come to Carolina from public and private practice; others have combined the study of law with such disciplines as computer science, anthropology, history, theology, psychiatry, and philosophy.
