Andelman's perspective on the role of law schools in preparing students for success in the practice of law has changed significantly as a result of experience in the legal education and in the legal community. 

"I used to believe that law schools were primarily about teaching theory and that new lawyers would gain all practical knowledge and on-the-job training after law school. But the practice of law has changed. Law school graduates who can hit the ground running and have significant real-life experience are better prepared to be lawyers and offer greater value to their employers and clients," Andelman said.  "One of the reasons I feel so strongly about what we offer at Cleveland-Marshall is that our students have phenomenal experiential and work opportunities that put them far ahead of their peers at other law schools due to the school's focus on creating outstanding opportunities, our uniquely dedicated alumni network, and our location in the heart of the legal community."
