CUA Columbus School of Law

Dean's Welcome

Welcome to the Web site of The Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law. As an attorney and a longtime legal educator, let me assure you that a career as a lawyer will provide you with a lifetime of both professional and personal satisfaction. Our law school offers you the perfect place and opportunity to study the law and legal doctrine, to develop practical skills and to learn about the important role and responsibility that lawyers serve in society.

Our location in Washington, D.C., places us just minutes from the United States Congress, the Supreme Court, the White House, federal government agencies and courts, numerous private law firms, corporations and nonprofit organizations. Enrolling at CUA law will allow you to observe and experience firsthand a wide range of law practice as interns and law clerks with the legal departments of these various entities.

As the law school of The Catholic University of America, we embody a commitment to the Catholic tradition of service to the individual and the community. We also engage in the intellectual and academic considerations that lay at the intersection of justice and mercy, ethics and morality, and faith and reason in the study of law and society. Accordingly, our law school not only prepares students to be the most competent and capable attorneys for practice, but we also encourage them to become lawyers of conscience and character.

As you peruse our Web site, you will get a brief introduction to our rich and broad academic program. At CUA law, students can experience a liberal legal education that covers a vast range of course topics. They can also elect to devote their studies to specific concentrations through our longstanding specialized Institutes and programs in Comparative and International Law, Communications Law Studies, Law and Public Policy, Law and Religion, and Securities and Corporate Law. Complementing our distinguished academic programs, our clinical legal education program was most recently ranked 11th in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. We also offer one of the most extensive externship programs in the country, allowing us to place our students in more than 200 legal offices throughout the Washington metropolitan area.

But of course, what truly gives you a sense of our wonderful legal community is your visit to our campus. You are always welcome at The Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law.

With best wishes,

Veryl V. Miles

Dean and Professor of Law
