Open Yale Courses (OYC)
YALE Law School
Yale University was founded in 1640 to preserve the tradition of European liberal education in the New World. The undergraduate school, Yale College, is the heart of the University. More than 2,000 undergraduate courses in the liberal arts and sciences are offered each year by over 65 departments and programs. Today, Yale is one of the world’s great universities. Its 11,000 students come from all 50 American states and from 108 countries.
Yale Law School has one of the strongest clinical programs in the country. Unlike most other schools, students can take clinics and appear in court during the first year of their studies. Clinic students represent real clients with real problems (not in role-playing exercises), and they are supervised by senior faculty members. Career
Yale Law School is unique among law schools in that it produces leaders in all walks of life: distinguished deans and faculty members at law schools across the country and the world. Yale Law School offers different courses, an average class size (25 students), and countless opportunities for independent research, writing, and student-organized discussion groups.
Several other clinics and projects give students direct experience in the practice of law in particular areas: capital punishment, environmental protection problems etc.
