About Us

Dean's Welcome

We appreciate your interest in our law school and in the legal profession. At UNM, professors, staff, students and alumni will enthusiastically welcome you to the world of legal knowledge and practice. Known for our supportive community, the School of Law, in many ways, reflects the warm and caring people of New Mexico.

UNM offers its students an excellent fundamental education and several special programs, many of which are enhanced by the unique cultures, natural resources and international border of New Mexico. Our graduates have found rewarding careers in New Mexico, as well as throughout the United States and the world.

If you are looking for the rare combination of a caring educational environment and a vigorous legal education, I invite you to learn more about UNM School of Law, an inviting place to spend your law school years.
