Welcome to the Law Center!

The Law Center is distinguished by excellence.  We are one of only 25 law schools with three or more nationally ranked specialty programs, and our faculty are renowned for scholarship and teaching abilities. 

Today’s students gravitate toward schools that can deliver the best education at the lowest cost – in other words, they are shopping for value.  As the costs of graduate education continue to climb, the Law Center stands out as one of the best values in legal education today.

Our current class of 1Ls (first-year students) is the best in our history.  I believe many of our high-achieving students selected the Law Center because it combines excellence with relatively moderate tuition, especially for Texas residents.

 A Law Center degree is a standard of excellence in the marketplace, and employers clearly appreciate the skills of our graduates.  I encourage prospective students to learn more about the competitive advantages of our school on our web site, along with details about our admissions process.   

Excellence and value are two of the distinguishing features of the Law Center – and we are determined to keep them both as our defining attributes.
