A Dynamic Institution

 

The University of Miami School of Law is located in a beautiful suburban area of a great metropolitan center. Along with a distinguished faculty, a carefully selected and exceptionally diverse student body, and excellent research library, the 83‑year‑old Law School offers an innovative curriculum that is rich, rigorous, and fully responsive to the needs of tomorrow's lawyers. The School offers the J.D. degree; joint J.D. programs in business, public health, marine science, music business and entertainment industries and communications; joint J.D. and LL.M. in tax, international, ocean and coastal, and real property development; and five LL.M. Programs. The Law School also features a wide range of public interest opportunities which enable students to acquire valuable, hands-on lawyering skills. Clinics include: Bankruptcy Assistance, Capital Defense Project, Children & Youth Law, Community Lawyering, Federal Appellate, Health & Elder Law, Human Rights, Immigration, Miami Innocence Project, Tenants' Rights and Investors' Rights. The School is accredited by the American Bar Association and is a member of the Association of American Law Schools.

 

Rich Curriculum with Outstanding Faculty

 

The Law School provides some of the most extensive trial advocacy and clinical programs in the country. Its unique first‑year curriculum trains student to master both the theory and the craft of the law.

 

The faculty's varied legal backgrounds and diverse interests provide students with an intellectually challenging and multifaceted legal education, adding new national, international, and interdisciplinary dimensions to the School's established tradition of sound teaching and scholarship. Over half of the faculty has extensive international legal experience, which is reflected in the School's curriculum as well as in the scholarship of the faculty. The School is the only one in the continental U.S. to offer significant course work on international and comparative law subjects in Spanish.

 

The teaching and research strengths of the School's faculty, the innovative nature of its educational program, and the quality of its graduates have earned the School a reputation as one of the most exciting law schools in the country.

 

Excellent Research Library

 

The Law School encompasses a complex of buildings which form a quadrangle around an open courtyard. In addition to several large classrooms, these buildings contain a number of smaller classrooms, where seminars and workshops are held; moot court rooms, where trial and appellate advocacy and other competitions take place; and administrative offices. Faculty offices are located in the Law Library. The student lounge, deli, and courtyard are popular, informal gathering places for students and faculty. The University's wireless network covers the entire complex.

 

The centerpiece of the Law School complex is the Law Library, one of the largest research law libraries in the Southeast. Law Library collections comprise over 600,000 volumes in print and microform. The Law Library's collection has a mixture of electronic and print resources. The Library has a comprehensive collection of American law and also collects extensively in foreign and international law and in the areas of taxation, estate planning, and ocean and coastal law. Its collection of Latin American and Caribbean law is one of the richest in the country. Students can access the library's electronic resources both on‑campus and off‑campus.

 

The Law Library has substantial student‑oriented facilities such as an electronic classroom, group study rooms, and spacious reading areas. Carrels throughout the Law Library contain computers or connections for laptops to communicate with the School of Law's network and the University's wireless network. The LawSchool network provides access to a wide variety of on‑line information resources, including LexisNexis, Westlaw, Computer‑Assisted Legal Instruction (CALI) materials, plus access to the Internet and e‑mail, as well as popular word processing and spreadsheet applications.

 

The Law Library's staff consists of 13 full‑time professional librarians and 15 other staff members. All are committed to providing a high level of service to students and faculty.

 

In addition to Law Library collections and facilities, students and faculty have access to the University's network of general and specialized libraries. Adjacent to the Law School complex, the University's Otto G. Richter Library contains over 2.5 million volumes, offering important support for interdisciplinary research. Resources of the School of Medicine and Schoolof Marine and Atmospheric Science libraries also are available for research in health and environmental‑related areas.

 

Diverse and Talented Student Body

 

The Law School admits first‑year students in the fall semester. It gives careful consideration not only to each applicant's undergraduate record and LSAT, but also to personal information such as obstacles overcome, graduate studies, job history, and significant extracurricular and community activities. Special care is taken to ensure that the entering class is a highly talented and select group, representing a wide variety of cultural, racial, ethnic, religious, and geographic backgrounds. The Law School takes great pride in the diversity of its students and faculty; as attorneys they develop the flexibility and understanding that comes with exposure to viewpoints of persons whose life experiences have been different from their own.

 

The Law School also accepts students who have undergraduate or law degrees from accredited foreign schools. The Law School typically graduates more foreign students from its J.D. program than any other ABA‑accredited school. In addition, the LL.M. program in comparative law typically enrolls approximately 40 foreign lawyers from 20 or more foreign nations.

 

Financial Aid

 

Financial assistance in the form of scholarships, low interest student loans, and employment opportunities is available for qualified students. In recent years, an average of 30% of admitted students have been awarded scholarships, with an average of $10 million awarded.

 

A Cosmopolitan Community

 

The Law School is located on the 260‑acre main Coral Gables campus of the University of Miami, one of the largest private research universities in the UnitedStates. Long regarded as one of Florida's most desirable residential areas and increasingly recognized as an international business center, Coral Gables offers all the benefits of large‑city living in a relaxed subtropical setting.

 

Next door to Coral Gables is the City of Miami, a burgeoning international center for trade and finance. Miami and the greater South Florida Region have one of the most dynamic and rapidly expanding legal communities in the country. Thus, the community provides numerous opportunists for internships, clinical programs, and law clerking experiences. Students can commute quickly and easily between campus and the downtown Miami legal community via Metrorail, an elevated rail system.

 

The cultural diversity of Miami makes for an extraordinary setting in which to live while attending law school. Greater Miami is comprised of many distinctive neighborhoods, among them: Art Deco‑inspired South Beach; "Little Havana;" fashionable Coconut Grove; and South Miami, with its small‑town ambiance. In addition, South Florida offers a wealth of cultural attractions, sporting events, and natural treasures to enjoy year‑round.

 

Most students reside in the vicinity of the Law School, where apartments are plentiful and affordable.
