Chase College of Law is embarking on an exciting initiative to construct a brand-new state-of-the art courtroom and advocacy training hub on the first floor of Nunn Hall, the law school’s home since 1982. The new Chase courtroom design will accommodate use by the seven member Kentucky Supreme Court, as well as federal and state appellate and trial courts. The courtroom will be appointed with all the features of a traditional courtroom, including a judge's bench, counsel tables, podium, jury box, witness stand, bailiff box, and gallery seating. In addition, the space will include an adjacent jury deliberation room and judge's chambers suitable for use in a mock or actual court proceeding.
Once in operation, the new courtroom will provide Chase students with the most up-to-date technology to enhance their advocacy skills. Members of the bench and bar, as well as local businesses and other enterprises will have access to the newly constructed space when not in use by the law school. We are excited to bring this educational community resource to the campus. Our aim is to promote the professional development of Chase students and enhance the educational and business opportunities for our partners in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region.
Available Naming Opportunities
The courtroom will be named the Chase College Foundation Courtroom thanks to a generous donation by the Chase College Foundation, a nonprofit founded in 1954 to support Chase students throughout their legal education. Additional naming opportunities are described below. Naming gifts will be recognized on a common display and are subject to the approval of the NKU Board of Regents. Thank you for any consideration in joining this exciting project!
