About Chicago Kent Law School

Chicago-Kent College of Law at Illinois Institute of Technology is a national leader in legal education, recognized for the strength of its faculty and for its innovative approaches to traditional legal education. The second oldest law school in Illinois, Chicago-Kent was founded in 1888 by two judges who believed that legal education should be available to working men and women. The law school’s first female student graduated in 1891, and the first African American woman admitted to the bar in Illinois (and among the first three admitted to practice law in the United States) was a graduate of the class of 1894. Today, Chicago-Kent students come from 39 states and are citizens of 20 countries. Fifty-six percent of the students are women, and 31 percent are students of color.

Drawing on its distinctive affiliation with Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago-Kent is at the vanguard of exploring new frontiers in the law raised by biotechnology, cybersecurity, legal innovation and technology, intellectual property, international business transactions and trade, and much more. Chicago-Kent is located in downtown Chicago, the heart of the city’s commercial and legal communities. The law school is accredited by the American Bar Association and is a member of the Association of American Law Schools and the Order of the Coif.
