When the doors of The University of Mississippi law school opened in 1854, the university took the leadership role in training lawyers and providing excellent educational opportunities. More than150 years later, we have a rich history of producing outstanding graduates who have assumed leadership responsibilities throughout our state, region and nation.

As an Ole Miss School of Law graduate, I was challenged in the classroom, Moot Court, the Law Journal, and by legal scholars and judges from all over the nation. My experience broadened my perceptions, providing scholarship, leadership and career opportunities that focused on public service.

A degree from The University of Mississippi School of Law is universally respected. Our school has experienced growth, with an enrollment today of about 550 students, a distinguished faculty of 37 and an extensive law library. We are located in one of America’s most beautiful college towns and enjoy a strong partnership with the city of Oxford and its citizens.

We encourage you to seriously consider The University of Mississippi School of Law. It will prepare you well with a rich foundation in law, as well as the skills needed in today’s global community, and it will bring immeasurable benefits to you throughout your professional life as you serve your community, state, nation and the world.
