Why York is a Great Place to Study Law
York, Pennsylvania, is a mid-sized, industrialized community in southeastern Pennsylvania, one of the nation's fastest-growing areas. While York and the surrounding areas are primarily rural and suburban, York is close to larger cities such as Harrisburg and Baltimore, offering opportunities for a variety of work in legal and protective services fields. York is one of 72 cities in York County, many with small police departments. Nearby Harrisburg, the state's capital, is a hub of Pennsylvania government agencies and a number of law firms.
