Columbus, Ohio: A Thriving Capital City

With a metropolitan population of more than 1.5 million residents, Columbus is a thriving, urban environment. Centrally located in the state of Ohio, the Columbus metropolitan area is headquarters for five Fortune 500 companies and more than 700 law firms. The economy thrives on a diverse mix of government, service, retail, and manufacturing.

The Moritz College of Law is less than three miles from the heart of the city's center and offers myriad opportunities for students to obtain part time employment, clerkships, and externships. Moreover, the college's many ties to area law firms, the Ohio Legislature, the Ohio Supreme Court, and numerous federal, state, and county courts and governmental agencies, as well as other legal entities, provide access to an extraordinary range of learning opportunities.

Beyond classroom learning and involvement with student organizations, law students may take advantage of the many athletic, cultural, recreational, and social events occurring in the city of Columbus. From musical and drama productions to the excitement of professional and Big Ten sports, law students have a nearly unlimited number of opportunities to enjoy their "down" time.
