Why UNM Law?

Why UNM Law?

The School of Law is New Mexico’s only law school. Our personal touch and close community differentiates our law school experience from others. One-to-one faculty-student contact, one of the best and most competitive tuition rates in the country, a state-of-the-art, hands-on, live-client clinic also set us apart. Not enough? We are highly ranked for popularity, diversity and value too. Read More.

Student quotes like this confirm our collaborative clinical teaching methods link the classroom and the community to the practice of law. Students gain real-world experience while faculty guide them through the mandatory program that helped to pioneer clinical legal education.
