The practical/hands on teaching approach used at Western, allowed me to step out into the legal field ready to hit the ground running. Western provided a multitude of opportunities to gain realistic experience while still in law school, making the transition from being a student to a practicing lawyer easier.

Western State’s size is very beneficial to students. The class sizes are small, which means the students are more engaged and the professors are more available and willing to answer students’ specific questions. Also, because there is a smaller student body, the faculty and staff get to know each individual student and can usually pinpoint in what area the student needs assistance.

The classes are small to help facilitate the comprehension of difficult subjects, and the professors will get to know you as YOU and not as a number.

I chose Western State because the atmosphere is warm, supportive, and collaborative. This environment allows me to concentrate on learning the law and pursuing my passion rather than worrying about competing against my classmates.
