Robert Bratton - Chase College of Law

Professor Emeritus

"I have been very fortunate over my many years of teaching at Chase to visit other law schools and observe what they do. I can honestly say that a number of them, even those with great reputations, do not do nearly as well in the classroom as the faculty at Chase. The true value of what Chase does for its students can not be fully appreciated by them until they start to practice law."
