Named by U.S. News and World Report among the “most diverse” law schools in America, the Fayetteville School of Law builds on more than 80 years of tradition and alumni success to promote professionalism, civility, and leadership. Our students follow a rigorous course of study that prepares them for success in law practice, business, public service, and more.
Whether pursuing a J.D. or an LL.M. in the nation’s only agricultural law program, students have the opportunity to expand and refine their lawyering skills – and to serve their community and state – through the Legal Clinic, an active and effective pro bono program, and various skills courses. Students also may participate in the publication of one of three law journals – Arkansas Law Review, Journal of Food Law & Policy, and Journal of Islamic Law & Culture. The law school’s outstanding faculty not only nurtures and challenges our students, but is committed to research and outreach. A recently completed expansion of the law center includes a state-of-the-art courtroom and classrooms, two-story entrance hall, reading room, conference room and coffee shop, making it one of the most striking buildings on campus and a popular gathering place for the university community.
