We are also tremendously proud of the significant strides and rise in the rankings that our Trial Advocacy Program continues to make. That progress can be directly attributed to both the fundamentals of advocacy we provide in the classroom and the practical opportunities we provide outside of the classroom. At Haub Law, we continue to recruit top faculty, generate top scholarship and establish leading-edge programs, resulting in attracting students who seek to make positive change as leaders and advocates of the future.”
