There wasn't even a question about which law school I was going to attend ... Capital is the only law school in Columbus that offers a part-time evening program that is devoted to people who also work full-time and have families.

It is my belief that Capital has just the right number of students to allow the students abundant access to the professors. At this point, I am a regular in the office of my favorite professor, who also happens to teach my favorite classes, which are torts and civil procedure.
- Ryan Wallace
I chose to attend Capital because of its location and dedication to service. Columbus is full of legal opportunities, and Capital places a lot of emphasis on giving back to the community, which I believe is an important responsibility for anyone in the legal field!
