As a graduates of this program you will be well
situated to transfer your first two years of post-

to work in after graduation, but most importantly,
rural communities in need of greater access to justice
for their citizens.

Curriculum

This program is learner focused and accountable

to student needs through core courses designed
for future legal studies, and a significant range of
flexibility and choice. Legal professionals come from
a broad range of academic backgrounds and law
programs emphasize the importance of students
pursuing their interests in undergraduate education
with electives each year. Our unique curriculum
includes conflict resolution, transformative justice
and a focus on issues specific to legal systems in
rural areas.

Community Partnerships
and Collaboration

Lawyers are fundamentally tied to their communities,
especially in rural settings and our program will give
you first-hand knowledge and experience of how that
connection might look once you are finished your
education through connection to local lawyers, judges
and advocacy groups who are working every day to
increase access to justice in our local region.
