The entire academic mission of Charlotte Law School is structured around three core mission concepts that make the Charlotte School of Law experience unique. These three ideals form a foundation for every aspect of the school—from academics and pro bono work to career development and community leadership.

Practical preparation is critical. A rigorous curriculum has been created to ensure that the students are equipped with practical skills that will allow them to thrive in a professional setting. Students are taught not only the traditions and theory of law, but also how to apply this learning through critical thinking and analytical skill sets. 

The students are the School's focus. 
The faculty is driven by a desire to motivate and energize the student community in every aspect of the Charlotte School of Law experience. Professors are accessible mentors who take an active role in the development of students and help them to embrace their legal education and capitalize on the opportunities within the school and community network of resources. Student success is of the utmost importance to everyone at the institution, on every level.

It is essential to serve the community. 
The Charlotte School of Law believes strongly that tomorrow’s leaders must reflect and interact effectively with an eclectic collective of people and cultures. Consequently, the school places strong emphasis on serving the underserved through community service and pro bono work in an inclusive environment that fosters a demanding yet supportive educational setting for a diverse community.
