What
makes a law school distinctive? At the University
of Idaho it is a model of legal education
that combines a collegial learning experience in one of Americaâ??s
smallest, selective law schools with an opportunity for professional
development in a metropolitan setting. From the friendly residential campus in
Moscow to the stimulating urban environment in Boise, the College of Law
provides all four ingredients of a comprehensive, leading-edge professional
education: 1) Substantive legal expertise 2) Interdisciplinary and global
perspectives 3) Practical lawyering skills 4) Sound ethical values
Legal
education at Idaho
is remarkably cost-effective. The Collegeof Law provides
exceptional value in relation to cost, and has embedded leading-edge technology
in the law school facility. Idaho also offers
the advantage of reciprocal admissions to the Bars of 24 other States, making
it a gateway to professional opportunities throughout the U.S.
Founded
in 1909, the Collegeof Law has established a
reputation for excellence. It is one of the oldest members of the AALS (1914)
in addition to being ABA-accredited since 1925. The College enrolls only about
100-110 new students each year, assuring that each student receives individual
attention. The student body typically represents more than 100 colleges and
universities and more than 25 states, and several foreign countries. The
College promotes diversity and is committed to increasing opportunities for
women and underrepresented populations.
Faculty
members are known for their dedication to the profession of teaching and for
their informal accessibility outside the classroom. Members of the faculty have
chaired or anchored national educational and professional committees, served in
the judiciary, and assisted executive and legislative agencies in many law
reform projects.
The
curriculum increasingly reflects the Collegeâ??s strategic emphases upon natural
resources and environmental law, business law and entrepreneurism, American
Indian Law, and advocacy and dispute resolution. The natural resources area is
enriched by an innovative water law and policy program known as 9
Water of the West, 9 emphasizing
law and science. The College is home to the Northwest Institute for Dispute
Resolution. It also sponsors a major annual natural resources law conference as
well as an American Indian law conference, and is home to the ground breaking
Critical Legal Studies Journal, The Crit.
The
College is recognized for its high ratio of clinical education opportunities
per student. It offers third-year students the opportunity to study law and
lawyering skills through the representation of clients in a wide variety of
cases under the supervision of clinical faculty. Students also may gain
transactional experience in a small business legal clinic. In addition,
students may participate in a 9 Semester
in Practice 9 program in Boise
as well as a host of internships in Idaho
and elsewhere.
The
College also is recognized for its commitment to public interest law. All law
students participate in a universal pro bono service program. The program
enables every student to engage in an activity that improves access to justice
or the administration of justice, under the guidance of a lawyer or judge.
The
College of Law
building features a courtroom that is periodically used by the United States
Court of Appeals (Ninth Circuit), Idaho Supreme Court and Idaho Court of
Appeals and is equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The building contains
classrooms with new technology, full service library, discussion areas, an
interactive video classroom, and seminar rooms. The entire building provides
wireless connectivity, TV videotaping equipment, and other modern technological
advances now having an impact on the practice of law.
The
library of the Collegeof Law contains more than
241,200 volumes (a favorable collection to-student ratio) and more than 4,930
active serial subscriptions. Its subscriptions to LEXIS, Westlaw, Hein-on-line,
and other electronic databases enable students to learn the most up-to-date
methods for legal research. Membership in the Western Library Network (WLN)
allows library staff to access holdings of approximately 300 libraries in the Pacific Northwest. The University of Idaho
is a centerpiece of 9 The Palouse, 9
a picturesque area of rolling, wheat covered hills and
forested mountains. Moscow,
the universityâ??s hometown, is a thriving retail and hospitality center as well
as a regional center for the arts and gateway to a wonderland of recreational
opportunities. WashingtonState University,
with an enrollment of approximately 20,000, is located eight miles west. Between
these two major universities, students enjoy an exceptionally wide range of
social, cultural, and educational opportunities. Numerous ski areas are within
driving distance of the school, while the Idaho countryside, rivers, and lakes beckon
to everyone who yearns to lead a healthy outdoor life.
