Increased Market-Readiness
We must increase the market-readiness of our graduates by ensuring Capital
Law alumni have the skills that make them assets to their prospective employers
from the first day on the job.
Traditionally, a legal education has been built on a foundation of imparting
knowledge of the law through rigorous scholarship. That remains vitally
important, but is not sufficient to ensure success in the real world. We need to
produce graduates who are both book smart and job ready. Today, we must adapt
our curriculum to ensure a law school degree also encompasses an ability to
apply scholarship from the classroom to real situations in real jobs in the real
world.
