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.
