Capital University Law School Alumni Spotlight

What Can One do With a Capital Law School Degree? 


Capital University Law School prepares its students well for the work force.  Some alumni followed a traditional path: they took the bar and are practicing attorneys. Other students followed a non-traditional path: they are running non-profits, teaching, researching, etc. Both paths are important and it is equally important. 

This week the alumni spotlight shines on Chelsey Capezzuti and Zach Klein. 

Chelsey Capezzuti has been in the news over the past few weeks as the Franklin County Assistant Prosecutor, who is handling the case against 10TV meteorologist, Mike Davis. While at Capital, Chelsey was the president of the Women's Law association and secretary of CULS republicans. Chelsey graduated from Capital in 2016 and was admitted to the Ohio Bar in November the same year. Since graduating, Chelsey has handled many high-profile cases including, most recently, the case against Mike Davis.  

After Zach Klein graduated from CULS, he clerked for the Ohio Third District Court of Appeals and Judges Terrence Kemp and John Holschuh at the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. He has served in the White House as Deputy Director of Management and Administration in the office of former Vice President Joe Biden. Zach Has served as an assistant Ohio Attorney General, the Deputy Chief of Legal Services in the Ohio Attorney General's office and worked as a Special Assistant United States Attorney. He has worked in the private sector as well with the law firm Jones Day and the Mid-Ohio Food Bank. Today, Zach if the City Attorney for the city of Columbus. Zach is using the full breadth of the City Attorney's office to better serve all Columbus Residents. 

Chelsey and Zach provide examples of the different paths a CULS student can take once they graduate and the great work someone can do with a Capital Law degree.
