Overview

Key Facts and Outcomes

University of Cincinnati Law students build a foundation in public interest law by studying Constitutional Law in their first year. Most law school courses will be valuable for some aspect of public interest work. In their second and third years, students can tailor their schedule to focus on a particular area of Public Interest Law.

Cincinnati Law also offers a joint JD/MA in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. The capstone experience of the program is a semester-long externship that allows students to work at a national public interest organization, such as the National Women’s Law Center, Equality Now, and the Women’s Law Project.

Students interested in public interest law and social justice are strongly recommended to participate in at least one clinical course serving the needs of low-income clients in order to experience this type of work first hand.
