School of Law

School of Law

With its strategic location, distinguished faculty, comprehensive curriculum, and international outlook, the School of Law is a living laboratory for global legal education.

Offering a rigorous foundation in the fundamentals of law and varied opportunities to explore every facet of contemporary practice, the University of Miami's School of Law primes graduates for success in a profession that, increasingly, transcends borders. Among the school's many recent innovations is LawWithoutWalls, which brings together students, faculty, practitioners, and entrepreneurs from around the nation and the world to foster innovation in legal education and practice.

Momentum2 will enable the school to provide scholarships for outstanding young students, support brilliant faculty at the peak of their productivity, expand visiting professorships, develop innovative strategies for global legal education, and fund community-based clinics. The school seeks funds to provide substantive support for its novel Legal Corps Postgraduate Fellowship Program, which provides stipends to recent graduates taking unpaid posts in the government or nonprofit sectors. An infusion of financial resources will help develop initiatives that foster entrepreneurial skills, collaborative programs focusing on specialized fields, and full use of new technologies. There also will be many naming opportunities in a major structural addition to the School of Law, part of a proposed and much-needed renovation.
