The Law School
With a century behind us, the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law is known for intensive, individualized teaching, small class sizes, and a close-knit community of about 450 students. Approximately 30% of our students are from outside the U.S. This diversity provides you with opportunities to meet people from many cultures and gain a greater awareness of other legal systems, while building a network of contacts from around the world. You'll build enduring relationships with your classmates and our alumni, all in an environment that challenges you to extend your reach — even beyond your comfort zone — to follow your passion, and blaze your own trail.
At University of Arizona Law you'll learn from professors who literally "wrote the book" in their fields, and, because of a low student faculty ratio of 10:1, you'll have unparalleled opportunities to know your professors and work closely alongside them. Among the law faculty, 23 hold chairs or professorships, 14 have been elected to the prestigious American Law Institute, three have been named Regents' Professors, the most distinguished faculty level at the University of Arizona, and one has been nominated for the Nobel Prize. University of Arizona Law faculty have distinctive strengths in both U.S. and international business law, international trade, intellectual property, environmental law, and trial advocacy.
As a University of Arizona Law student, you'll receive a comprehensive and rigorous legal education at a very reasonable tuition rate, allowing you to complete your program with less debt and have more options when you graduate.
If you're looking for an unmatched individualized education at a first-tier American law school, and if you're looking for exceptional value in your legal education, you should choose University of Arizona Law.
The Faculty
Again and again, our students cite the accessibility of faculty as one of Arizona Law’s best features and their relationships with faculty as among their best experiences here.
Ultimately, law study teaches you not just the basics of law but to become a better thinker — to analyze and understand things in a way beyond many other people. It’s a skill that takes coaching to develop, which is why a law school’s faculty make all the difference in your education.
Our scholars are nationally known for their work. Many literally “wrote the book” in their fields, and their insights and research reach far beyond the classroom, ensuring your education stays current and relevant as you also master time-honored fundamentals.
Our faculty actively practice, shape and teach the law.
