» About Chapman University Dale E. Fowler School of Law

We pair theory with real-world experiential training, fully preparing students for practice as an attorney. Under the guidance of world-class faculty, we provide numerous externship opportunities, skills labs, clinical programs and research projects. Students also gain experience by participating in legal journals and award-winning competition teams.

At the Fowler School of Law, you’ll work closely with faculty, administrators and staff. With one of the best student-to-faculty ratios among ABA-approved law schools, we offer smaller class sizes and greater access to faculty.

Among our distinguished faculty are three former United States Supreme Court clerks, a Nobel laureate, three members of the American Law Institute, and a former five-term U.S. congressman. With Fowler’s leading legal scholars, former law partners and clinical practitioners, students enjoy learning and training with experienced professionals.

Our dedicated Career Services Office helps students obtain impressive positions in the legal workforce. We offer one of the top bar exam preparation programs, complete with for-credit courses, a supplemental summer program, mock bar exams, and individualized feedback.
