Our curriculum is grounded in the fundamentals and the practical legal skills required to serve in the legal profession. Students take a mix of doctrinal, legal writing, elective, skills, and drafting courses. We also have an exclusive agreement with BARBRI to provide a comprehensive bar prep program beginning 1L year and continuing through passing the bar exam.
Our students can choose from 30+ student organizations, three legal publications, and advocacy teams to help them learn and connect in areas they are passionate about within the legal field.
Our externship program offers students practical, hands-on experience at more than 150 sites locally, regionally and nationally. In addition, students have the opportunity to learn and serve through our clinics, such as Family Law and Mediation.
Our students have access to a vast network of licensed, practicing alumni in 47 states or U.S. territories. Students also build their network through student organizations, career services programming, the Law Links Mentorship Program, on-campus recruiting events, and more.
The law school is nationally recognized for its student-centered culture. Students rave about our open-door policy and accessibility of their professors. What’s more, the law school is located in the heart of downtown Charleston, S.C., which has been ranked the No. 1 city for more than a decade.
