The Charleston School of Law offers students the
unique opportunity to study the time-honored practice of law amid
the beauty and grace of one of the South's oldest and most prestigious
cities, Charleston, South Carolina.
Tracing its origins to the 1825 formation of The Forensic Club,
the Charleston School of Law is reinvigorating the study of law
in Charleston by offering a rich, comprehensive three-year program
rooted in excellence. Not only will students be able to take advantage
of mentoring programs offered in conjunction with Charleston's
collegial, professional Bar, they will get a firsthand look at
the study of law in a city anchored by an area known as the Four
Corners of Law.
"Charleston has played a pivotal role in the development
of the rule of law in our country and has a legal community with
the highest professional reputation," says Alex Sanders,
former president of the College of Charleston and past chief judge
for the S.C. Court of Appeals.
Students at the Charleston School of Law will study law as a
profession and find a faculty focused on using the law as a calling
in the public interest. Faculty members devote their full attention
to excellent teaching and scholarship, both in and out of the
classroom.
Where traditions offer opportunity -- that is Charleston and
the Charleston School of Law.
Goal
of school
The goal of the new school, which will
be only the second law school in South Carolina, will be to teach
the practice of law as a profession with its chief aim to provide
public service. More.
