Our Faculty

The UNM law faculty has been educated at the nation's most distinguished law schools and has practiced and taught throughout the country, bringing to UNM a healthy diversity of backgrounds, professional interests and outlooks on legal education.

Professors value one-on-one contact with students outside the classroom and are dedicated to turning incoming students into graduates who are equipped with the skills and ethical standards necessary to practice law and to contribute to the greater community.
