The WCL experience is not, however, merely a product of faculty, programs, and location. Without question, our greatest asset is our energetic and heterogenous student body. WCL students actively involve themselves in the governance of the law school and take advantage of many opportunities for professional and personal growth. Students represent clients in court, assist in conference and seminar planning, and interact with renowned legal scholars and other professionals who come to the law school. Our alumni are an important and active part of the educational experience.
Alumni are extensively involved in externship and career placement opportunities.
They also attend seminars, colloquia, and conferences held at the law school that are open to students and other participants. Alumni are a supportive resource to student organizations and often present at panel discussions and attend networking receptions. In addition to the JD program, WCL has Master of Laws programs which attract more than 200 students from more than 66 countries. Foreign and domestic attorneys attend these programs to study international business and public law, gender issues, or administrative law. JD students may take upper-level courses with LLM students, providing an opportunity to discuss comparative law with practicing attorneys from around the world.
