Entering Class Data

“The very first day of my LSAT practice course, we went around and named our "goal" school - I said "Colorado."  I ended up looking closely at many law schools across the country, but after my visit day in Boulder, and meeting the students and faculty, I knew it was where I belonged. Not once have I regretted my decision to come to CU.” Nicholas Monck, Class of 2019

“I was very anxious to begin law school, though from the minute I made my decision to go to CU I have felt utterly welcomed by the faculty and knew that I had joined a great place. The amount of warmth that the CU staff offers is really incredible!” Miles Williams, Class of 2020

“As a Colorado Law Student Ambassador, I represented the school at various networking events which afforded me the opportunity to meet with incredible Colorado Law school alumni and strengthen my networking skills.” Melissa Austin, Class of 2018

"Learning the law is critical, but Colorado Law offers students so much beyond basic academics. The clinics are amazing, the journals are great, there are some really fantastic student organizations, and the Career Development Office is invested in helping students find a legal career path that will work for them. Also, think about the location—there's more to life than studying and the law. We live in a beautiful state where you can go outside and enjoy nature regularly!" Ki Ki Council, Class of 2017, is an associate in the commercial litigation group at Holland & Hart LLP.

"One of the reasons I chose Colorado Law was the supportive and collaborative environment encouraged among the students. I didn’t want a stereotypical law school experience where students won’t share notes with each other and tear pages out of library books just to try and get an edge on their classmates. I left with friendships and professional relationships that I will maintain throughout the rest of my career. Colorado Law also provided me a great education with excellent and knowledgeable faculty. My time and money at Colorado Law were very well spent." Caitlin Miller, Class of 2016, is an associate attorney at Earthjustice.

"I would tell the prospective student that if I had to choose my law school again, I would pick Colorado Law even quicker than I did the first time. Colorado Law is not only a top 50 program and a great way into the Colorado legal community, but the law school’s community is very supportive." Bill Gillespie, Class of 2016, Assistant United States Attorney, District of Colorado.

"Colorado Law had everything I wanted in a law school and a lot of added bonuses I didn’t know I needed! I was challenged on a daily basis by the rigor of the coursework and the variety of extracurricular and experiential learning opportunities. Faculty and staff were brilliant yet approachable and willing to do anything to help students succeed. There was plenty of opportunity for challenge and competition, but in a friendly and cooperative atmosphere where you felt supported in taking risks. And my classmates became project partners, study buddies, roommates, colleagues, and lifelong friends. Law school is difficult, but I believe there is no better place to weather that challenge than at Colorado Law." Jennifer Benson, Class of 2018, Western Regional Campaign Director, National Young Farmers Coalition.

"I come from a lower socioeconomic background, and early on in law school, I often found myself intimidated by the classwork, by successful experienced attorneys, and even by my classmates, but Colorado Law perfectly melded rigorous academics with a humane and supportive environment. Colorado Law gave me the confidence that I could become a great lawyer someday by giving me the tools and support to overcome my challenges, allowing me to humbly celebrate my successes, and serving as a conduit to opportunities that I never dreamed would exist for me. While I’m still working toward the “great lawyer” part, I know that Colorado Law gave me the strong base upon which to build toward that goal." Brandon Archuleta, Class of 2016, is a transactional associate at Lane Powell PC.
