EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
Haub Law is fully invested in preparing you for success by emphasizing the practical skills that employers seek. We have always known that a great legal education must teach more than statutes, regulations, and case law. Students must also gain concrete practice skills in immersive experiential settings and learn the strategies and tactics required of representation.
Our cutting-edge curriculum gives you the foundation you’ll need to build legal skills early in your first year. For upper-level students, we offer a rich array of clinics and externships, as well as the Pro Bono Scholars and Semester in Practice programs, in a diverse range of practice areas, giving you practical learning experiences.
