Alberto Lopez
Professor of Law
"I have greatly enjoyed my seven years of teaching at NKU Chase, and I believe that the learning environment here is ideal. I have been to several law schools (as both a student and as a faculty member), and I have noticed that Chase students are very enthusiastic about learning, and that Chase faculty members truly care about the students and their success."
