OU Law begins with the end in mind. We strive to not only prepare students to pass the bar, but also to ensure they begin their careers with practical training under their belt. Through coursework that provides students with simulated courtroom and boardroom experiences, co-curricular moot court programs, and live-client on-site clinics, OU Law holistically prepares students for the practice of law.
