Chapman University Reviews of Doctorates in Law

"From the moment I filled out the application I felt like a part of the Chapman community. Applying to law school is a scary endeavor and Chapman made it easier by giving me a personalized experience. To give you an idea of what I mean, I received a personal phone call when I was accepted, was treated to dinner by a member of the admissions counsel, and was sent out a birthday card just to name a few things (all this before I had even committed to the school by paying a deposit). Once you start attending Chapman, that personalization will not stop. The professors genuinely care about you and your education as do all the other faculty members. I know without a doubt that I can reach out to any of my professors for help in class or even reach out to any of my fellow students. There is a sense of camaraderie that you can feel as soon as you step onto the campus. I have never regretted my decision to move to CA to attend Chapman"

"The school offers a lot of scholarship money to those who did well in undergrad and on the LSAT. The school also makes it manageable to keep the scholarship going into the next year. The school's ranking has progressively gone up every year. Partly because the school has one of the best bar passage rates in CA. The faculty is also great, many come from real world experience or from teaching at other top tier schools. The only issue is the name recognition is not quite there yet, making job opportunities a little harder. But if a student buts an effort into networking it seems possible to get a decent starting job after graduation."

"Chapman University School of Law has a beautiful campus, friendly students, and great professors. The school's scholarship system seems to push most students out of eligibility through the use of a strict competitive median application that makes students appear less desirable as job applicants. But overall, the quality of life and educational advancement makes Chapman University Dale E, Fowler School of Law a good choice."

"Chapman Law has wonderful networking programs & is very invested in your success and well-being as a law student. They were extremely generous in their financial aid & in every aspect of welcoming me to law school and getting me settled. It's a great change from the large impersonal experience I had in undergrad."

"Although the education at Chapman is enjoyable Orange County can be a very expensive and sometimes overwhelming place to live."
