|
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on August 22, 2024 The University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law has been ranked the No. 1 law school for minority students as well as nontraditional students by The Princeton Review, based on current student demographics and survey responses. “Being ranked the No. 1 law school for minority and nontraditional students by The Princeton Review is an incredible achievement that truly embodies the heart of our mission at UDC Law," said UDC Law Interim Dean Angela Gilmore. "This ranking affirms our longstanding dedication to expanding access to legal education to those who have often not been given those opportunities and providing legal representation for those who have historically lacked access to the legal system. At UDC Law, we are committed to practicing law, promoting justice and changing lives through educating and empowering a diverse and inclusive student body who see public service as a founding pillar of their legal education. And this ranking is a testament to our collective efforts and success in advancing these core values." Since its inception, UDC Law has emphasized public service, and each year UDC Law students and faculty provide more than 100,000 hours of essential legal services to District residents through its clinical program. Students also engage with federal government agencies, nonprofits, the judicial system and top-ranking leaders in the legal field. Firebirds have the opportunity to serve as volunteers and externs, and to work in local, national and international government; in public interest roles; in regulatory organizations; and in other legal arenas. The UDC Law student population reflects the university's commitment to expand legal educational opportunities to people from groups traditionally underrepresented in the legal profession. Minority students represent more than 50% of its population and women comprise 60% of the student body. The law school enrolls students from across the U.S. and around the world.
