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.
