Aside from bricks and mortar, the true foundation of a law school rests squarely on the reputation of its faculty. Miles Law School is privileged to have preeminently qualified instructors; some of whom are successful alumni. The vast majority are practicing attorneys in the private and public sectors. Blending the academic and professional worlds with their theoretical knowledge and practical experience adds another dimension to classroom instruction. The common denominator is their genuine commitment to the training of legal minds.

Law school is unique in many respects from other fields of study. It requires a period of acclimation to a new way of thinking and processing information. Weekly class preparation entails a copious amount of reading assigments and case briefing along with research and writing. This experience is virtually universal for nearly all law students-everywhere.

Yet, the Miles Law School Experience incorporates all of the traditional aspects of legal studies and adds special character and flavor of its own that separates it from all others. Firstly, by catering to “non-traditional” and socially conscious students, the law school creates an environment of ”determined achievers“. Secondly, our history as an evening school remains the bedrock of our existence, which guides our present and shapes our future. Thirdly, our faculty members’ courtroom-to-classroom teaching enriches student learning.
