Clinton Law School

The Clinton Law School is a private law school in Surea. It is the only private law school with both full-time and part-time (day and evening) programs. The school is a collaboration between Clinton University and Morisugu & Fusotaka.

Clinton Law School's partnership with Holmes Academy dates back to 1990 when a merger of the two schools was frequently discussed and at one point almost officially agreed upon (Clinton Law School withdraws at the very last minute). Graduates of Holmes Academy comprised about 45% of total students admitted to Clinton Law School.

Academics
Clinton Law School‘s mission is based upon three pillars: 1) a student-centered educational experience; 2) supporting programs that allow for professionally-prepared graduates; and 3) commitment to underserved communities.
 * Clinical Programs: Clinton Law School houses a Mediation Clinic and other clinical programs designed to develop and enhance practice skills. Courses are offered in trial and appellate practice, mediation and alternative methods of dispute resolution. Clinical methods are used in various courses throughout the curriculum.
 * Externships: Clinton Law School offers qualified, upper-level students in good academic standing opportunities to participate in a for-credit externship program. Students attend a classroom component that provides a link between the placement setting and the learning process. A faculty member coordinates and supervises the externship program.
 * Mentoring Programs: Each student is assigned a faculty member as their mentor. The faculty member helps to guide the student through their law school experience and form a professional relationship that will carry into their future career.
