The largest state capital in the nation, Phoenix offers a unique confluence of city, county, state and federal courts, along with numerous prominent law firms and nonprofit organizations – many within walking distance or a short light-rail ride from ASU Law’s campus. That presents an abundance and variety of opportunities for ASU Law’s thriving internship and externship programs, and post-grad employment.
