ABA Approved Since 1930

Recognizing the need for formal law instruction in the state of Mississippi, the legislature in 1854 established the Department of Law at The University of Mississippi. Over the years, the law department has evolved into todayâ??s modern Law Center. Located in Oxford, Mississippi, on the main campus of The University of Mississippi, the Law Center is housed in Lamar Hall, named in honor of the late Mississippian, L.Q.C. Lamar, former Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court and one of the first law professors at the university. Oxford, a small town of approximately 12,000 people, lies nestled in the quiet hills of North Mississippi, just 75 miles southeast of bustling Memphis, Tennessee, and 170 miles north of the state capital of Jackson.

The University of Mississippi is the fourth oldest state-supported law school in the nation. The School of Law is fully approved by the American Bar Association and is a long-standing member of the Association of American Law Schools. The law school library collection consists of over 336,487 volumes and equivalents. The Libraryâ??s website (http://library.law.olemiss.edu) provides access to the online catalog and other legal resources.

The law school student body numbers approximately 517, with a recent entering class of 175 for the fall 2007 term. The faculty numbers thirty-six, eleven of whom are women. Admission to law school is gained by committee approval, based on an applicantâ??s credentials. Although the LSAT and GPA are the most important factors in the admissions process, other considerations are: diversity, grade progression, quality of undergraduate institution, difficulty of major field of study, socio-economic circumstances, letters of recommendation and residency.

Since the first seven students entered The University of Mississippiâ??s fledgling Department of Law in 1854, thousands of eager students have streamed into the law school, some already solid in their ambitions, others still searching. For these new students, the school has served both as a source of inspiration and as a pragmatic preparation for the task at hand.
