For more than 90 years, the University of Arkansas School of Law has produced local, regional, national, and global leaders in the fields of law, business, and public service. Our law school graduates include CEOs, company and nonprofit in-house counsels, judges and justices, ambassadors, entrepreneurs, governors and senators, and a presidential cabinet member.

The school prepares students for success through a challenging curriculum taught by nationally recognized faculty, unique service opportunities, and a close-knit community that puts students first. With alumni in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, two territories, and more than 20 countries, the school of law has been nationally recognized for providing one of the best values in legal education.

Whether pursuing a JD or an LLM in the nation’s first agricultural and food law program, students have the opportunity to expand and refine their legal skills and to serve others through the Legal Clinic, an active and effective pro bono program, externships, and skills courses.

Students prepare for their future in an environment that welcomes international students and that encourages participation in an increasing variety of international opportunities in and out of the classroom. Students also may participate in the publication of the Arkansas Law Review and the Journal of Food Law and Policy. The law school’s outstanding faculty members not only nurture and challenge students but also produce nationally and internationally recognized scholarship and outreach.
