Students at NKU Chase College of Law are part of a rich academic environment. Obviously, the classroom study of law is an academic experience. Yet there are many additional academic opportunities. For example, some students may wish to earn academic credit by participating in moot court or trial advocacy competitions against other law schools. Other students may wish to earn academic credit by working in a clinical externship with a practicing judge or attorney. Students who enjoy legal writing may wish to join the Northern Kentucky Law Review which is also an experience that awards academic credit.
