No less important is the decision about what law school to attend. Choosing the school that best meets your needs and expectations must be undertaken with special care. I would like to take this opportunity to share with you some reasons why Western State may be the right school for you. Perhaps the single most important factor to consider in choosing the school at which you will spend the next three or four years of your life is the people. An accessible, supportive faculty is the hallmark of a Western State education.
Faculty members pride themselves on being wonderful teachers both inside and outside the classroom.
At Western State your faculty is available for office consultations, mentoring throughout your years at the law school, and many opportunities to interact on both formal and informal bases. Our faculty, one of the most diverse in terms of race, gender and ethnicity of all the nation s law schools, comes from a wide variety of practice backgrounds. Many have national reputations as scholars. All are deeply committed to their students. If asked to identify the one aspect of our school which makes us special, most of our students and alumni would, without hesitation, say the faculty.
