The College of Law takes an innovative approach to higher learning. Our goal is to prepare students for success in a rapidly evolving profession. At Georgia State Law, students decide what kind of lawyer they want to be by taking part in an externship or practicing in one of our three on-campus clinics (health, immigration and taxes). Students can also study under experts who are researching everything from entertainment law to urban planning in our six on-campus centers. With faculty who are sought-after practicing attorneys, the college is uniquely equipped to challenge and refine modern legal education.
