Insider Reviews

from students and alumni of arizona-state-university


Alumni

ASU has great faculty and a great atmosphere for grad school. They offer a lot of clinical programs although I did not take advantage of any of them. As the only real law school in Phoenix (sorry, PSL), ASU places very well in the Phoenix valley.

Alumni

The Center for Law, Science and Technology is great if you want to practice in the technology fields. There was a lot of hands on experience to be had and great mentors/faculty. If you want a general legal education or to be a litigator, the education is pretty average.

Alumni

Federalist Society extremely active.

I would have liked more training geared towards people who were going to go solo right out of law school

Alumni

Great instructors, but the administration is more interested in what is best for them rather than their students or prospective students. Scholarship opportunities are crap (merit-based scholarships, anyways)

Alumni

Great opportunities for externships / clinics

Alumni

ASU provides a basic education, but fails to adapt to the times. They lack realism, and therefore do nothing to prepare students for the real practice of law. In reality, all law schools should be cutting enrollment to compensate for the dwindling market, but instead they are recruiting more students so that those that make a living on the university system can pay their own bills.

Job prospects outside of Arizona and the greater Southwest area are dismal, even if you are at the top of your class/law review/etc..

Great school, fun students.

Don’t go to this school unless you want to practice in the west (most likely the southwest, but we also have some reach in Colorado and San Diego). But if you do, then this is a great school, and a great in-state tuition deal compared with other schools at our ranking.
