Center for Excellence in Advocacy

Message from the Directors

Welcome to the NKU Chase Center for Excellence in Advocacy. The Advocacy Center gives students the knowledge, skills, and values they need to represent a client well from the initial client interview through the appeals process. Attorneys, judges, alumni, faculty, and students come together during innovative courses and programming. As a result, our students develop practical litigation techniques as law clerks and graduate with an in-depth understanding of cutting edge advocacy techniques. They can hit the ground running as practitioners and litigators. As you explore our website, see which type of programming provides the experiential learning opportunities you are looking for at this point in your career:

• Substantive Courses
• Practical Skills Courses
• Competition Teams
• Clinics and Externships
• Lectures and Practical Skills Seminars
• Special Projects and Programming
• Student Advocacy Society
• Alumni Mentoring

As our Center grows, feel free to share your ideas and suggestions with us. Our partnerships help us continue NKU Chase's tradition of innovative advocacy training.
