Students heap praise on both the faculty and the administration. 鈥淭he professors at Akron are the crown jewel of the school,鈥 beams a 1L. 鈥淭hey make even esoteric, archaic concepts like the rule against perpetuities interesting and understandable.鈥 鈥淚t is evident that they are passionate about teaching.鈥 鈥淢any could probably make double or triple their salary by working in a big-city law firm.鈥 Faculty accessibility outside of class is 鈥済reat,鈥 too. Professors here are 鈥渞eally interested in helping you find your way as a lawyer.鈥 They are 鈥渃onstantly walking the halls and willing to chit-chat.鈥 鈥淓very professor I have had in class knows my name,鈥 reflects a 3L. The 鈥渦ltra-helpful鈥 and 鈥渧ery flexible鈥 administration is 鈥渁lso very accessible and interested in the students鈥 and 鈥渨illing to work with鈥 them.
While you can find Akron Law graduates all over the country, the great mass of alumni ends up practicing in northeast Ohio. While critics charge that the Office of Career Planning 鈥渄oes not do a great job at placing students,鈥 most students seem pretty happy with their post-law school employment prospects, and the employment rate is consistently around 90 percent. The school has a 鈥済ood reputation in the region.鈥 鈥淭he local bar association has a very close relationship with Akron Law,鈥 and 鈥渢he school provides countless opportunities for鈥 mentoring and networking.
Akron Law has started a complete renovation of its facilities, including the construction of a state-of-the art wing with a new courtroom and interactive classrooms In the meantime, the current facility is 鈥渓ess than stellar鈥 and it just 鈥渄oesn鈥檛 feel like a law school.鈥 鈥淭he physical plant is a mess,鈥 explains a 3L. 鈥淭he law school is actually two buildings that were combined in the cheapest way possible.鈥 鈥淎reas of the building can seem cramped.鈥 鈥淭he heating and cooling system is consistently broken.鈥 On the plus side, classrooms are adequate. 鈥淭hey are all equipped for wireless Internet access and have plug-ins for every student laptop.鈥 Also, the location is excellent. City, county, state, and federal courts 鈥渁re all steps from the door of the school.鈥
