"In the year and a half after my graduation from Cumberland School of Law, I tried thirteen jury trials. I also assisted in a murder trial. If it was not for the education and training I received at Cumberland School of Law, I do not believe I would have experienced so much at such an early stage in my legal career."
T. Cameron McEwen '07
Deputy District Attorney

??"Cumberland School of Law prepared me to design my own future by giving me the best education from the most caring and involved teachers in an environment that was open, friendly and accepting. I have not faced a challenge as a lawyer, an educator or working in sports that wasn't in some way anticipated by the law school's curriculum or that I was not taught how to solve by a Cumberland professor. Cumberland School of Law gave me all the tools I needed to build my future."

“The summer classes are great for preparing you for a range of topics and assignments. Some of the things we covered in the summer I saw again in contracts, torts, property and other courses. The writing assignments allow you to feel more confident first year when preparing for exams and other papers. The best part is the bond created with the summer classmates. They have been one of my biggest support systems at Cumberland School of Law. I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity.”

“The Cumberland School of Law 1L summer program is one of the single most valuable resources available to entering law students. The information you will garner through the curriculum will make you feel a semester ahead of the other students arriving in the fall. The summer program teaches valuable research skills as well as some material that helps immensely in the fall classes. The greatest benefit of participation in the summer program is the unparalleled opportunity to adjust to life in law school and learn about the Cumberland community in a more personalized environment. The summer program is unique to Cumberland and invaluable to you as an entering 1L. I encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity.”

“The summer courses provided a tremendous introduction into the legal reasoning and writing skills necessary to excel as a first-year law student. The small classes created a pleasantly unique and comfortable environment to develop my confidence in briefing cases and ultimately learning how to think like a lawyer. Additionally, I was able to better understand how to take a law exam. The summer program is surely the best decision I made in beginning as a law student here at Cumberland School of Law. I proudly recommend the summer program to all incoming 1Ls.”
