| A legal education, no less than law itself, is a momentous undertaking. We at Arizona State University are committed to providing the best legal education possible. What we offer each of the 170 women and men who enroll each fall is an education informed by law's long traditions, yet refined to meet the needs of a dynamic profession and the changing world it serves. We welcome your interest in the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law.
 Law schools can appear deceptively similar. Every law school offers courses in contracts and constitutional law, and every law school teaches legal writing and offers moot court. However, there are big differences among law schools, and the differences matter. Only in some law schools do students interact frequently and easily with faculty committed to mentoring them. Only in some law schools are members of the faculty leaders in their field. Only in some law schools are the opportunities for clinical experience supervised by faculty trained to help students develop and hone such important practical skills as client counseling and mediation. Only at some law schools do students learn legal writing in small sections from full-time professors specializing in that area.
As you read the remarkably similar literature from law schools, we encourage you to look beneath the surface. Look inside the law schools and identify the differences that make a law school the right match for you. As you sift through the facts to find the place that best suits you, consider the reasons to attend ASU. We are confident you will discover that the Sandra Day O'Connor legal education is among the very best.
