Mission Statement

Capital embodies a close community of students, faculty, and administrators who support one another and who strive to be the best. I am excited because this years’ student body will include a good balance of men and women, students of color, and students with regional roots that span the geography of the nation.

Capital University Law School has strong connections with the legal community. Most of Ohio’s major firms have offices in downtown Columbus. As Ohio’s capital city, Columbus is home to the Ohio Supreme Court, the state legislature, and numerous state agencies including the Ohio Attorney General’s Office. Indeed, Columbus presents an excellent opportunity to network and start a career in the legal field.

“In its recent report, BET.com said Columbus drew praise for its reasonable cost of living, diverse neighborhoods, low crime rate and the $34,000 median annual income among black households. It said nearly a fifth of blacks in the city held bachelor's degrees or higher and just 16 percent of blacks 25 and older lacked a high school diploma, making it an attractive destination for well-educated blacks.

About a quarter of the city's 700,000 residents is black.

In its 2001 survey, BET.com previously picked Columbus tops in the nation for black families.”

In addition to Columbus being a thriving place for African Americans, the city is becoming increasingly attractive to the Hispanic, Asian and Pacific American, and many other ethnic populations. Columbus, the 15th largest city in the United States, is recognized as an emerging city one of the most welcoming cities in the country.
