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.
